Vegan Grapefruit Granita Sorbet Recipe
An icy cold vegan granita recipe, similar to a sorbet, made with just a few simple and easy ingredients, including fresh grapefruit. Recipe and photo courtesy of Texas Sweet Citrus.

Ingredients:

  • 3 grapefruits, juiced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • mint leaves, for garnish

Preparation:

Combine grapefruit juice and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Let it cool down and pour it into a flat pan with high sides. Place in freezer. Once ice crystals start to form, take a fork and stir vigorously, breaking the crystals up, and return to the fridge.

Do this every half hour for about four hours.

Once the granite is totally frozen, fluff it with a fork and give it another half hour in the freezer to solidify. Serve with a mint leaf garnish.

Makes 4 ½ cup servings.
