- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Method: Frozen
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blood orange juice or regular orange juice
- ½ cup mascarpone
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Pour the orange juice into a baking dish or another large container that fits comfortably in your freezer. Freeze until solid—at least 2 hours, or up to overnight (but not much longer, or else the flavor won’t be as present).
- Once the mixture is firm, scrape it with the tines of a fork so that it breaks into a zillion flakes. (You can do this up to a few hours in advance, and then just store it in the freezer.)
- Just before serving, in a small bowl, stir together the mascarpone and heavy cream.
- Alternate layers of the granita and the cream mixture in small glasses or side-by-side in small bowls, working quickly so that the granita doesn’t melt too much. Serve immediately.
