Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 4h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup water
65 grams (about 1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon) sugar
680 grams raspberries
1/2 teaspoon rose water

Steps:

  • Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  • In a blender, purée the raspberries with the sugar solution and remaining ingredients until smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
  • Chill a 9-by-11-inch baking dish in the freezer. Blend the purée with an immersion blender for 30 seconds and scrape into the chilled baking dish and place back in the freezer. Set the timer for 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the ice crystals from the outside of the baking dish toward the center. Return to the freezer and set the timer for another 30 minutes. Continue to scrape the mixture with a fork every 30 minutes until you have a uniform frozen mixture. It should not be frozen solid. If you forget to scrape and the mixture does freeze like an ice cube, cut into chunks and use a food processor fitted with the steel blade to break it up. Transfer to a container and freeze. Allow to soften for 15 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.

RASPBERRY GRANITA

Perhaps the most eye-popping of all the granitas, this one has a color that perfectly matches the dazzling flavor of the raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, let them thaw before you purée them.

Yield makes about 2 cups (500 ml)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 cups (480 g) raspberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup (250 ml) water
1/4 cup (50 g) sugar

Steps:

  • Pass the raspberries through a food mill, or purée in a food processor and press through a sieve to remove the seeds. Stir in the water and sugar, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Freeze according to the instructions for freezing granita on page 145.
  • Super Lemon Ice Cream (page 85) and Lemon-Buttermilk Sherbet (page 117) are two of my favorite pairings with Raspberry Granita.
