Who doesn't enjoy a nice cold treat in the middle of summer? These are the perfect thing to cool you down, if you just have enough patience to wait while they freeze, but trust me, these are definately worth the wait!
Ingredients:
1 1/3 Cups Water
2/3 Cup Sugar (For Granita)
4 Cups Fresh Strawberries (About 2 Containers)
1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice
1/3 Cup Whipping Cream
1 Teaspoon Finely Shredded Lemon Zest
2 Teaspoons Sugar (for Cream)
Combine water and 2/3 Cup sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is completely disolved. Set aside and let cool.
Puree the berries in a food processor until smooth (you may add up to 1/3 of the sugar syrup to help puree the strawberries easier). Strain with fine mesh over a bowl and discard the seeds. Stir this and the lemon juice into the syrup.
Pour this mixture into a 2 Quart square baking dish. Cover and freeze for 6 hours or until firm. Stir after 2 hours, and once an hour after. Before serving, beat mixture with a fork or until fluffy. Top with Lemon Cream and Enjoy!
Lemon Cream:
Combine Whipping Cream, 2 Teaspoons sugar, and Lemon zest in a medium bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium or until soft peaks form.
