Marissa's MediterraneanA refreshing and vibrant frozen treat featuring a zesty pomegranate and lime granita layered over honey-sweetened Greek yogurt.
In a shallow baking dish, whisk together the pomegranate juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the lime juice until the honey is fully dissolved.
A metal pan helps the liquid freeze faster than glass.
Place the dish in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape the frozen edges toward the center, breaking up any large ice chunks until the mixture is completely frozen and flaky.
Consistency should look like colorful snow!
While the granita finishes freezing, whisk the Greek yogurt with the remaining tablespoon of honey and the vanilla extract in a small bowl.
Use full-fat yogurt for the best creamy texture.
To serve, spoon a generous dollop of the sweetened yogurt into the bottom of four chilled glasses. Top with a mountain of the pomegranate granita.
Garnish with fresh pomegranate seeds and torn mint leaves. Serve immediately before the 'snow' melts!
The key to this dessert is the contrast between the icy, tart granita and the creamy, sweet yogurt. If you don't have pomegranate juice, blood orange juice works beautifully too! It's the perfect light finish after a heavy meal.
