We love the contrast of the icy, tart granita with creamy Greek yoghurt, but it is equally delicious served on its own. It comes together in mere moments and then requires occasional stirring for several hours - making this a super simple, hands-off recipe.

Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Place the watermelon, maple syrup, and half the juice of the limes into a blender. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Pour into a shallow container and place into the freezer. Remove every 30-45 minutes and stir, pulling the crystals from the edges into the middle, then return to the freezer until crystals form again. Keep this up for about 3 hours, until the granita is frozen all over.
Before serving, squeeze over the juice of the remaining limes and stir to incorporate.
Serve each portion with a dollop of Greek yoghurt and some fresh lime zest. Serve immediately.

Recipe simple and easy to follow m
Delicious! Such a great dessert during a heatwave! The lime zest and yogurt really make it complete. Will 100% make again
Kids Favourite. Icy cold 🥶
Delicious. Didn’t have any limes so virtual Rupy suggested oranges. I used two. I reduced the amount of maple syrup as oranges are sweeter. It was refreshing really but might reduce the amount of zest as you couldn’t taste the watermelon much. Perfect for a hot day.
