Creamy Melon Granita

(19)

Icy melon milk granita is an easy make-ahead treat for a hot summer day. (No need to scrape our sherbet-like mixture every 30 minutes, as with most granitas -- just rake it once at the end for the right consistency.)

Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed melon

  • cup condensed milk

  • ¼ cup fresh lime or lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt

Directions

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine melon with condensed milk, lime or lemon juice, and salt. Puree until smooth. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish; freeze until firm. Before serving, scrape with a fork until it has the texture of shaved ice.
