- Ready In:
- 4hrs 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Yields:
-
1 quart
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups water
- 2 cups champagne or 2 cups sparkling wine
- 1⁄3 cup creme de cassis
directions
- In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add the Champagne; stir in the creme de cassis.
- Pour mixture into 2-quart container (sides should be about 2 inches high) and place in the freezer.
- Begin checking it after about 1 hour; once it begins to freeze around the edges, take a fork and stir the mixture, breaking up the frozen parts near the edges into smaller chunks and raking them toward the center.
- Return dish to freezer, then check mixture every 30 minutes afterward, stirring each time and breaking up any large chunks into small pieces with a fork, until you have beautiful, fine crystals.
- Because the granita may melt rapidly, suggest spooning into chilled goblets and letting rest in the freezer until ready to serve.
