There is nothing as refreshing as ice cream, sorbets and granita (similar to Italian ice), especially during the summer. Popsicles or paletas are also a crowd favorite. Italian ice or Sicilian granitas are so easy to prepare and this passion fruit recipe will delight everybody in your family. It’s the perfect frozen treat for those who have a lactose intolerance or are sensitive to gluten.

How do you make granita

Making granita is quite simple but the entire process of scraping the flavored ice will require around two hours. This treat is made with just two or three ingredients. Citrus flavors such as tangerine, orange or lemon, are particularly refreshing and this passion fruit granita is delicious because of its natural acidity.

This passion fruit granita (or Italian ice) recipe is not only super refreshing, it is so yummy! Easily make it at home following 4 simple steps.Since passion fruit is not always available, I make this granita with passion fruit concentrate that you can buy at the grocery store, wholesale stores, and Hispanic stores. You can also try adapting the recipe using other tropical fruits such as guava and coconut.
