When I made the beetroot sorbet, I loved the flavors so  much that I wanted to use the same flavors to make more frozen desserts. Making Granita was on my mind for quite sometime now after watching the contestant of Masterchef Australia spinning up beautiful Granitas day in and day out. Among all types of frozen dessert Granita looked the easiest to make. 

Our heart craves nothing more than refreshing icy snacks in summer. Irrespective of the age, we all love popsicles, ice cream, gelatos and other frozen treats. Granita is a recent addition to the global list of frozen desserts. The cooking shows are now responsible for bringing many local recipes on the global stage. Granita is the Italian version of shaved ice but with a little twist. The texture of granita usually ranges from slushies to sorbets.

 The fun part in making a granita is, even if they melt when you take it out of the freezer, you can repeat the scraping process, and it will return back to the crystalline form. So you basically cannot go wrong with a granita ever ! 

You might have tried out many fruity flavors of granita, but trust me this beetroot rose Granita is a unique flavor you are going to love. Especially the floral rosy essence and the vibrant red color was definitely a hit at least in my home.  This is such an easy recipe that even your kids can make it themselves with a little help. So try it once and let me know.
