A dollop of cream gives rich contrast to this pink summer ice. Ingredients:
1 pound sliced hulled strawberries (about 1 2/3 cups) |
3/4 cup sugar |
pinch of salt |
1 1/2 cups cold water |
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice |
1 cup chilled whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Puree strawberries, sugar, and salt in processor until smooth. Add water and lemon juice and process to blend. Strain into 8x8x2-inch metal baking pan. Cover with foil and place in freezer. Stir with fork every hour until frozen, about 4 hours. DO AHEAD Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep frozen. Using fork, scrape granita down length of pan, forming icy flakes. Return to freezer. Beat 1 cup chilled whipping cream until firm peaks form. Divide cream among dishes. Spoon granita over and serve immediately.
