How to Make Valentine Granita
- In a medium saucepan, dissolve 1 cup (200g) of granulated sugar in 1 cup (240ml) of water over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in 2 cups (240g) frozen raspberries and 1 cup (150g) diced fresh mango.
- Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and consistent.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove any seeds or large chunks. You should have approximately 2 cups of fruit mixture.
- Pour the strained mixture into a shallow 13x9x2 inch baking dish or similar container.
- Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture is slushy and partially frozen.
- Remove from the freezer and thoroughly stir the mixture, scraping down the sides of the dish to break up ice crystals.
- Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the dish. Freeze for an additional 8-10 hours, or overnight, until solid.
- Before serving, let the granita sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to slightly soften.
- Scoop the granita into serving dishes and garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
