Ruby Chocolate Granita

Instructions

1. 1

   In a blender or food processor, combine the sugar, water, lemon juice, and salt. Blend until the sugar is dissolved.

   Tip: Be careful when handling the blender.

2. 2

   In a separate blender or food processor, combine the ruby chocolate, unsalted almond milk, and ruby chocolate chips. Blend until smooth and creamy.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the blender.

3. 3

   Pour the blended sugar mixture into a shallow metal pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish. Freeze for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Don't worry if the mixture seems a bit icy at this stage.

4. 4

   Pour the blended ruby chocolate mixture over the sugar mixture and use a fork to create a slushy, crystalline texture.

   Tip: Be gentle, as you want to maintain the texture.

5. 5

   Return the pan to the freezer and freeze for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the granita has reached the desired consistency.

   Tip: Use a fork to scrape the mixture every 5 minutes to break up any forming ice crystals.

6. 6

   Once the granita is ready, scoop it into individual serving dishes and serve immediately.

   Tip: You can garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired.

7. 7

   Repeat the freezing process a few times to ensure the granita has reached the desired consistency.

   Tip: This will help to break up any remaining ice crystals and create a smooth, slushy texture.
