Ingredients
- 1kg ripe pawpaw, peeled and seeded
- 500ml mango juice
- 100ml castor sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 100ml vodka (optional)
Method
Put the pawpaw in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until blended.
Pour the mixture into a suitable freezer container and freeze until almost set.
Use a fork to break up the crystals, and return to the freezer until required.
Pile the granita into chilled glasses and serve either as a light, delicious starter or as a refreshing dessert.
If preferred, the pawpaw can be substituted with watermelon.
