Watermelon Granita, the easiest frozen dessert, you can make with readily available ingredients in your pantry. It's just the watermelon juice in crystallize form.
Last week while purchasing groceries, we wrongly pinged the yellow watermelon instead of regular one. While cutting only, we came to know and it looks so beautiful inside,but the sweetness of the melon is little less for our tasting.So i reached for watermelon recipes other than juice,then i came to know about this granita recipe. I never tasted this before, so thought of give a try and it's really tasty and definitely a thirst quencher in summer.
