5 Minute Blackberry Granita
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 0 minutes
- 150g/5ozs. icing sugar
- 350g/12.3ozs frozen blackberries
- 250g/8.8ozs ice cubes
- Whipped cream and panettone to serve
Note: If you have really big ice cubes (I do because they're better for drinks), place them in a ziplock and smash them with a meat mallet or your blender may not be able to grind them up.
Step 1 - In a food processor or blender, blend the icing sugar, blackberries and ice cubes and process until icy. Halfway through, scrape down the sides if necessary. Spoon into glasses and top with cream and serve with panettone.
Thermomix directions: Place the sugar, blackberries and ice cubes in the Thermomix and set to speed #10 for 45 seconds. Halfway through, scrape down the sides if necessary.
Note: you can make granita ahead of time and freeze it. Then break it up with a fork before serving it (it should be very easy to break up and if you freeze it straight away, it may not even need forking).
