Instructions

1
|
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and Aperol. Bring it to a simmer and cook it for 4-5 minutes (you want to cook off a bit of the alcohol so it will actually freeze). Cool the mixture to room temperature.
2
|
Puree the strawberries with the Aperol syrup in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain to remove the pulp and seeds. (If desired. This step is not totally necessary, but the pulp and seeds will lead to a less-smooth texture).
3
|
Gently whisk the strawberry-Aperol mixture with the lemon juice, orange juice, and Prosecco. Pour the mixture into a metal or glass baking pan.
4
|
Freeze for 2 hours, and then scrape the mixture with a fork. Scrape the mixture every hour for another 3-4 hours, or until the mixture resembles shaved ice. Cover with wrap until ready to serve. You can serve the granita with whipped cream and fruit, but I prefer it plain. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Strawberry Puree Perfection 🍓
    Strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a silky-smooth texture for your granita.
  • Freezing Technique Mastery ❄️
    Scrape and break up the granita every 30-45 minutes during freezing to create those signature light, icy crystals typical of a traditional Italian granita.
  • Prosecco Preservation Trick 🥂
    Add the prosecco just before serving to maintain its effervescence and prevent the alcohol from preventing proper freezing.
  • Sweetness Balance Hack 🍯
    Taste and adjust the sugar syrup before freezing, keeping in mind that the flavors will slightly mute when frozen, so make it slightly sweeter than you'd prefer at room temperature.
  • Garnish Like a Pro 🍊
    Garnish with fresh orange zest and a small strawberry slice right before serving to elevate the presentation and add a burst of fresh flavor.
