Ingredients
- 4 cups (about 1/2) watermelon, cubed and seeded
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of raw or refined sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
- Juice of one lime
- Slices of Lime to garnish
Directions
- Place the water, sugar, and red chili into a saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar has completely dissolved.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before placing in a blender along with the watermelon and the lime juice.
- Blend the mixture together until smooth and then pour into a shallow pan, cover and place in the freezer for 4-1/2 hours, making sure to scrape the mixture every hour to break up the ice crystals.
- Serve the granita in pre-chilled dessert bowls and garnish with slices of lime.
