Herb and White Wine Granita

Author Notes

after tasting a beautiful white wine at a local wine merchant this summer, my husband and i enjoyed this subtle and elegant frozen dessert.

variation: it is possible to vary this recipe each time by using different wine and different herbs. one possibility is to use mint rather than rosemary, and lime juice rather than lemon juice. - robynmichellelee

Test Kitchen Notes

This recipe was submitted the week we held our Best Frozen Dessert contest, and while we loved it, we didn't feel it fit the category perfectly. Yes, you could serve this granita on its own as a not-too-sweet dessert, but we think its clean, herbal notes would be perfect for a palate-cleansing middle course, or as the wow factor in a component dessert (think poached pears or a fruit galette with ice cream). - A&M —The Editors
