Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Blender
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Acai Berry Vitamin Burst
- 3/4 cup Fresh Strawberries
- 3/4 cup Fresh Blueberries
- 1/2 cup Fresh Raspberries
Instructions
- 1. Start by brewing your Acai Berry Vitamin Burst over ice. This step is crucial as it forms the base of your granita, so make sure to follow the instructions for the perfect flavor.
- 2. Once brewed, strain the ice from the tea and pour it into a blender. This will ensure the granita has a smooth texture without any ice chunks.
- 3. Add in the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries into the blender. Blend the mixture until it’s smooth, taking care to pause and scrape the sides if necessary.
- 4. After blending, give it a taste. If the mixture isn’t sweet enough for your liking, you can add a little sugar at this stage. I found that the berries I used were sweet enough, so I skipped this step!
- 5. Once you’re satisfied with the flavor, pour the mixture into a 9-inch square pan or dish. This is where the magic happens as it freezes into a delightful granita.
- 6. Cover the dish tightly and place it in the freezer. The granita will need to freeze for about 4 to 6 hours. Every 30 minutes, take a fork and scrape the mixture to create those beautiful fluffy ice crystals.
- 7. After the granita has fully frozen, it's time for the fun part! Use a fork to scrape the mixture before serving. This will give it that light, fluffy texture that’s characteristic of granitas.
- 8. Serve the granita in bowls, garnishing with a few extra berries on top for a pop of color and presentation. This finishing touch makes all the difference!
- 9. Enjoy your refreshing Berry Burst Granita with friends or family, and watch as it disappears within moments. This treat is best enjoyed fresh but can be kept in the freezer for a bit longer.
