Ingredients:

  • 4 cups blackberries (about 18 oz)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp creme de cassis (black-currant liqueur; optional)
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp finely grated lemon zest plus more for garnish
  • 1 1/3 cups blackberries (about 6 oz), cut in half crosswise

Directions:

  1. For granita: Purée blackberries, sugar, crème de cassis, if using, lemon juice, salt, and 1 cup water in a blender until smooth. Strain purée through a fine-mesh sieve into a 13x9x2 baking pan, pressing on solids.
  2. Freeze mixture until edges begin to set, about 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape to break up frozen portions. Freeze, scraping and breaking up mixture every 20-30 minutes, until mixture resembles fluffy shaved ice, 2-4 hours.
  3. DO AHEAD: Granita can be made 3 days ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and keep frozen. Scrape before serving.
  4. For lemon cream and assembly: Just before serving, whisk mascarpone, cream, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest in a medium bowl until soft peaks form.
  5. Serve granita topped with lemon cream, halved blackberries, and more lemon zest.
