granita
Coarse Italian sorbet
Granita is an Italian frozen dessert made from sugar, water, and flavorings—typically fruit juice, coffee, or almond.
Coarser than sorbet, it has a crystalline, icy texture achieved by scraping the mixture as it freezes rather than churning it smooth.
We ordered lemon granita after dinner.
