Originally, granita is a half frozen dish from Italy. It makes for an excellent entremet or simple dessert, when enjoying a festive dinner, for example. The granita is based on sugar and water and in respect of the other ingredients, feel free to combine or experiment to your heart’s content. This recipe is for an avocado, basil and Prosecco granita. Although you don’t need the Big Green Egg to make it, it will combine brilliantly with one of our menus !
