Honeydew Mint Granita - Vegan
There’s nothing like a cool, refreshing treat to beat the summer heat, and the Honeydew Mint Granita hits all the right notes. This icy delight is a simple yet elegant dessert that combines the natural sweetness of honeydew melon with the refreshing flavor of mint, balanced with a hint of lime. Visually, it’s a pleasing burst of pale green that appeals just as much to the eyes as it does to the taste buds.
Ingrédients
- 1 medium honeydew melon, seeded and cubed
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions

- Blend until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a shallow baking dish to remove any pulp.
- Place the baking dish in the freezer.
- After about 1 hour, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up any ice crystals that have formed.

- To serve, scoop the granita into chilled bowls or glasses and garnish with additional mint leaves if desired.
