Limoncello Granita image

Mascarpone cheese gives this dessert a smooth, creamy texture, making it more like a sherbet than an ordinary granita. Best of all, you don't need to scrape it as it freezes to create icy granules, so it's truly a snap to make. Serve it with tiny glasses of limoncello for a perfect summer dessert.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Lemon Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup limoncello liqueur
Pinch of fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon simple syrup, mascarpone cheese, limoncello, and salt in a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until the mixture is firm.
  • Using the tines of a fork, scrape the mixture into small serving bowls or glasses. Serve immediately.
