Ingredients

  • cups strawberries (we're partial to strawberry or lemon)
  • 10 ounce strawberries fresh frozen with their juices), or 1 quart strawberries thawed

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • baking pan
  • ziploc bags

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, smash the strawberries into the yogurt, stirring to combine.
  2. Pour the mixture into a shallow pan (a metal baking pan works) and place it in the freezer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
  3. Remove the pan from the freezer and stir the yogurt well, breaking up any clusters of ice crystals that have formed.
  4. Return it to the freezer. Continue stirring every half hour, breaking up new clusters as they form, until the granita is completely frozen but scoopable, about 2 more hours.
  5. Scoop and serve, garnished with fresh berries, if desired. (Store any leftovers in the freezer in a covered container or resealable plastic bag.)
  6. TIP
  7. If you have fresh mint on hand, mix a finely chopped handful of it into the yogurt and berries before you start freezing.
