3-Ingredient Blueberry Champagne Granita image

Save your fresh berries for eating out of hand: Frozen blueberries have a more intense color and concentrated flavor then fresh ones, so your granita will be deep violet and sweet.

Yield Serves 8-10

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup sugar
1 (10-ounce) bag frozen blueberries
1 (750-ml) bottle sparkling wine

Steps:

  • Bring sugar, 1 cup blueberries, and 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Transfer blueberry syrup to a medium bowl set inside an ice bath and let cool.
  • Purée syrup and remaining blueberries in a food processor until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a 13x9" (or other 3-qt.) freezer-safe baking dish, pressing on solids to extract as much juice as possible; discard solids.
  • Pour sparkling wine into baking dish and stir to combine. Freeze mixture until just beginning to crystallize, about 2 hours. Scrape with a fork, then continue to freeze, scraping every hour, until texture is similar to shaved ice, 3-4 hours more. Cover with plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.
  • Do Ahead
  • Granita can be made 5 days ahead; keep frozen.
