POMEGRANATE AND ROSE GRANITA



Pomegranate and Rose Granita image

The rose petals look lovely here, but don't worry if you can't get hold of any. With the pomegranate seeds there, the granita looks wonderful without them. Be sure to leave enough time for the liquid to properly freeze into crystals, about 8 to 10 hours.

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Scant 1/2 cup/90 grams granulated or superfine sugar (caster sugar)
3 sprigs mint (5 grams)
1 2/3 cup/400 milliliters 100-percent pomegranate juice (such as Pom)
1/2 teaspoon rose water
1/4 cup/40 grams pomegranate seeds
2 teaspoons dried rose petals

Steps:

  • Add sugar and 7 tablespoons/100 milliliters water to a small saucepan and place over high heat. Stir continuously, until sugar has dissolved and the liquid comes to the boil.
  • Add mint, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and set aside to cool, about 20 minutes. Strain the syrup into a large bowl, pressing on the mint to extract the water. Discard the mint.
  • Whisk the pomegranate juice and rose water into the syrup until combined. Pour into a container and freeze for 2 to 3 hours, until clumps form and the edges are solid. (The shallower the container, the shorter the freezing time.) Use a fork to separate the crystals and freeze for another 2 hours. Repeat with the fork again, scraping the tines across the frozen mixture, and continue this process until the liquid has frozen into separate crystals throughout, about 8 to 10 hours total.
  • Just before serving, divide the granita between small glasses and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and rose petals.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups pomegranate juice (such as Pom), divided
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
6 ounces high-quality white chocolate (such as Lindt or Perugina), chopped
Pinch of salt
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream, divided
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
3/4 cup chilled crème fraîche
Pomegranate seeds (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine 2 cups pomegranate juice and 1/4 cup sugar in 8 x 8 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Stir mixture until sugar dissolves. Cover and freeze until granita is firm, at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Combine remaining 2 cups pomegranate juice and 3 tablespoons sugar in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil, stirring mixture until sugar dissolves. Boil until mixture is syrupy and reduced to generous 1/2 cup, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer syrup to small bowl. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Granita and pomegranate syrup can be made 3 days ahead. Keep granita frozen. Keep pomegranate syrup chilled.
  • Place chopped white chocolate and pinch of salt in medium metal bowl. Pour 1/2 cup cream into small saucepan. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; add bean and bring to boil, whisking to blend. Remove vanilla bean. Pour hot cream mixture over chocolate in bowl; let stand 1 minute, then whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Cool until barely lukewarm, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Using electric mixer, beat remaining 1/2 cup cream in large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold in barely lukewarm melted chocolate mixture in 2 additions, then fold in crème fraîche. Divide mousse among 6 dessert glasses, leaving enough space at top of glasses to spoon granita over. Cover and chill until mixture firms up slightly, at least 8 hours or overnight. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Using fork, scrape surface of granita, forming icy flakes. Top each glass of mousse with generous amount of granita, dividing equally. Drizzle each lightly with pomegranate syrup. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and serve immediately.

POMEGRANATE GRANITA



Pomegranate Granita image

Granita is a cool, sorbet like desert. I'm slightly addicted to granita's and I had one pomegranate left at home so this is what I made with it. Basically it's one pomegranate per person if you would like a descent size desert. The original recipe was found on http://fooddownunder.com/ but it has been dramatically modified

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 4h16m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pomegranates
4 teaspoons soft brown sugar (light brown sugar) or 4 teaspoons caster sugar, depending on your taste

Steps:

  • Slice off the top and bottom of the pomegranates, then break them apart and remove the seeds. With your hands, squeeze all of the juice out of the seeds, then push the mixture through a sieve, pressing down gently to extract as much juice as possible without pushing the bitter skins through.
  • Discard the seeds. In a large shallow glass baking dish that will fit in your freezer, combine the juice with the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved (place the pan over a very low flame if desired to speed the dissolving of the sugar). Freeze for 4 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
  • Scrape the surface of the ice with a spoon into large flaky crystals.
  • Refreeze if desired. The granita should be served as a chunky ice, not a smooth sorbet.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh pomegranates. Look for fruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • If you don't have a juicer, you can extract the pomegranate juice by hand. Cut the pomegranates in half and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Place the seeds in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
  • For a sweeter granita, add 1/4 cup of sugar to the pomegranate juice before freezing. You can also add other flavorings, such as lemon zest, orange zest, or mint leaves.
  • To make the granita ahead of time, freeze it for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you're ready to serve, simply scrape the granita with a fork or spoon until it reaches a slushy consistency.
  • Serve the granita immediately, garnished with fresh pomegranate seeds or mint leaves.

Conclusion:

Pomegranate granita is a refreshing and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
