Watermelon Granita

Easiest dessert ever! Watermelon is at its peak right now. Very ripe and sweet. Turn it into a yummy frozen treat! Super healthy too!!!

6 cups seedless watermelon, diced
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
Handful of fresh mint leaves

Purée watermelon in blender. You may have to work in batches. Add the lime juice and mint. Blend until mixed.

Pour mixture into a 9x9 inch metal pan, cover and freeze. Stir mixture every hour with a fork. The granita is ready to serve when the mixture is frozen and resembles ice crystals, about 5 hours. Use a fork to scrape granita into large ice crystals. Serve in a chilled martini glass and garnish with a mint sprig.
