How to Make Melon Granita
- Combine the cantaloupe, honeydew melon, and lime juice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl to remove any seeds or pulp. This will give you a smoother granita.
- Pour the blended melon mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Ensure the dish is wide to allow for faster freezing.
- Place the dish in the freezer for 1 hour. Then, using a fork, scrape the icy crystals from the bottom and sides of the dish, breaking up the ice into smaller crystals. This process helps create the characteristic granita texture.
- Return the dish to the freezer for another hour. Repeat the scraping process. Continue this process of freezing and scraping every hour for a total of 4-5 hours, or until the granita reaches your desired consistency. The longer it freezes, the icier it will become.
- Once the granita is fully frozen, let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before serving. This will make it easier to scoop.
