Cool off this summer with this delightfully simple, yet elegant strawberry granita with pistachios and cream. A delicious dessert with only 5 ingredients.

Strawberry Granita with Pistachios and Cream

Ahhh…. summer. Time to indulge in all kinds of frozen sweet treats like ice cream, popsicles, and frozen yogurt. Another frozen dessert to add to your list? Granita. This is frozen dessert in its simplest form. All you do is puree some fresh fruit with simple syrup and freeze. So easy!

This dessert is perfect for those especially hot and humid days since you have to stand in front of the freezer every 20-30 minutes to break up the frozen puree. It’s a great way to cool off! Once your granita is ready, you’ll want to serve it the same day to keep it from firming up too much. It’s so good, I can’t imagine waiting that long anyway!

 Unlike a bowl of ice cream, this refreshing granita won’t weigh you down. I think it’s one of my new favorite summer treats!

    This looks delicious, and so beautiful. I am such a wimp about the heat, so I am all about cold desserts in the summertime. Adding this to my list!
