Allergens

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free

Ingredients

• 1. 2 cups full
• fat coconut milk 2. 1/3 cup honey 3. 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 4. Zest of 2 limes 5. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 6. Pinch of sea salt 7. Fresh berries, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, honey, lime juice, lime zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well combined.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the honey is dissolved and the flavors have melded together. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer safe dish and place in the freezer. After 45 minutes, use a fork to scrape and break up any ice crystals that may have formed on the surface. Continue this process every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours or until the granita is completely frozen and fluffy.

Chef’s Insight

The secret to a perfect granita is consistency; scraping it every 30 minutes ensures you get a fluffy, snow-like texture that melts in your mouth.

Notes

1. Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor. 2. Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less honey.
