How to Make Snowcapped Pink Strawberry Mountains Strawberry Granita

  1. Combine 2 cups fresh strawberries (or 2 1/2 cups frozen, thawed), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water in a blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds (optional, but recommended for a smoother granita).
  4. Pour the strawberry mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish.
  5. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  6. Using a fork, scrape the partially frozen mixture, breaking up the ice crystals. This helps create the characteristic granita texture.
  7. Return the dish to the freezer for another 30 minutes.
  8. Repeat the scraping process.
  9. Continue this process of freezing and scraping every 30 minutes for a total of approximately 75 minutes, or until the granita reaches your desired consistency. The longer it freezes, the firmer it will become.
  10. Once completely frozen, let the granita sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften before serving. Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint if desired.
