Snowcapped Pink Strawberry Mountains(Strawberry Granita)
- 2 lbs very ripe strawberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (confectioner's sugar)
- 1 lemon, juice of (about 2 tbls.)
- 8 teaspoons whipping cream (heavy cream)
- Gently wash and hull strawberries, then put in a food processor.
- Process until crushed.
- Working in batches, press puree through a fine sieve to extract seeds, and discard seeds.
- Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice into strawberry juice.
- It should seem a little too sweet and a little too sharp; both tastes will be muted slightly when frozen.
- Pour puree into a bowl or shallow baking dish; the mix should be no deeper than about 1".
- Freeze until solid, at least 1 hour.
- Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving.
- Using a sturdy scoop or spoon, mound granita into goblets and cap each with a trickle of cream.
- The cream will solidify, semifrozen, like a snowcap on a pink mountain!
- Serve quickly, before it has time to melt.
- Enjoy!
