Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk (full fat, canned)
- 200 ml Buttermilk
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, buttermilk, and granulated sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Stir in the vanilla extract, fresh lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Taste the mixture and adjust lime juice or sugar if needed for balance.
Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish or baking pan. Choose one with a broad surface area to allow for faster freezing.
Place the dish in the freezer and set a timer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any ice crystals that are forming. Return the dish to the freezer.
Repeat the scraping and stirring process every 30 minutes for 3-4 hours, or until the granita is fully frozen into light, flaky crystals.
Once the granita is ready, use the fork to fluff it one final time before serving.
Spoon the granita into serving bowls or glasses and serve immediately for a refreshing dessert.
