My favorite discovery this summer has been ruby chocolate, and I'm so excited to share this granita with you. It's a stunning frozen dessert that looks like jewels in a glass, and here's the best part: it comes together in less than an hour total. Ruby chocolate is rich in antioxidants, making this treat a little bit better for you than your typical frozen confection. The tartness of lemon juice cuts through the sweetness beautifully, and the whole thing is wonderfully simple to make with just a freezer and a fork.
