Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of champagne
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the sugar syrup has cooled, pour it into a shallow dish or baking pan.
- Slowly pour the entire bottle of champagne into the dish with the sugar syrup.
- Add 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice to the champagne mixture and gently stir to combine.
- Place the dish in the freezer and let it sit for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, use a fork to scrape and stir the mixture, breaking up any frozen chunks. Return the dish to the freezer.
- Repeat the scraping and stirring process every 30 minutes for about 3-4 hours, or until the entire mixture is frozen and has a fluffy, icy texture.
- Once the granita is fully frozen, use a fork to scrape the surface into fluffy ice crystals.
- Scoop the champagne granita into serving glasses and garnish with a few fresh berries or mint leaves, if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this elegant and refreshing dessert!
