Watermelon, Lime and Mint Granita

• 9 cups (about 4 pounds with the rind) seeded and cubed watermelon
• 1 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
• 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/3 cup sugar

1. Working in two batches, puree the watermelon in a food processor.
2. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve, forcing the liquid out with a wooden spoon.
3. Discard the solids.
4. Combine the watermelon puree, mint, lime juice, and sugar in a 9 x 13-inch metal pan.
5. Place the mixture in the freezer, scraping it thoroughly with a fork every 20 to 30 minutes for about 2 1/2 hours, until the granita resembles coarse crystals.
6. Scrape one last time and spoon into parfait glasses or bowls.
7. Top with a mint sprig.
