Yogurt Granita Recipes

recipe image

The best thing about this icy, tart-and-sweet treat might be how little forethought it requires. You can use any flavored yogurt on hand.

Ingredients:

  • 1 10-ounce package frozen strawberries, thawed (with their juices), or 1 quart fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups fruit yogurt (we're partial to strawberry or lemon)

Instructions:

  1. 1 In a large bowl, smash the strawberries into the yogurt, stirring to combine.
  2. 2 Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a metal baking pan works) and place it in the freezer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Remove the pan from the freezer and stir the yogurt well, breaking up any clusters of ice crystals that have formed.
  4. 4 Return it to the freezer. Continue stirring every half hour, breaking up new clusters as they form, until the granita is completely frozen but scoopable, about 2 more hours.
  5. 5 Scoop and serve, garnished with fresh berries, if desired. (Store any leftovers in the freezer in a covered container or resealable plastic bag.)
