Category: Desserts
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Water | 550g |
| Almond Paste | 230g |
Instructions:
-
Start by chopping the almond paste into small, even cubes. Place the pieces in a tall container, ensuring they are spread out for easy blending.
-
Using an immersion blender, blend the almond paste and water together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
-
Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific machine (For the model we used, there’s no need to pre-cool the bowl in the fridge).
-
Let the ice cream maker run for at least 30 minutes, or until the texture becomes creamy and compact.
-
Once ready, transfer the granita into glasses—preferably chilled, to prevent the granita from melting too quickly.
-
Serve and enjoy the delightful, refreshing taste of almond granita!
Tip: For an added touch, you can garnish with slivered almonds or a drizzle of honey before serving for a decorative finish.
