If you have never tried passion fruit granita or Italian ice, it’s time to change that. No worries, because you can easily make it at home.

There is nothing as refreshing as ice cream, sorbets and granita (Italian ice), especially during the summer. Popsicles or paletas are also a crowd favorite. Italian ice or granitas are so easy to prepare and this passion fruit recipe will delight everybody in your family, which is why we are sharing it with you.

Making granitas is quite simple, minute really, 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.

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.
