Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups 100% Carrot Juice
  • 3/4 cups 100% Pineapple Juice
  • 1/3 cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • 4 Tablespoons Coconut Butter, For Drizzling (optional)

Method

  • Combine all of the ingredients, except for the coconut butter, in a saucepan set over medium-high heat. Whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Mixture should not come to a boil, or even to a simmer.
  • Pour mixture into a baking dish (I used an 11 x 7 inch dish). Let cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then place the dish in the freezer until ice crystals form around the edges, about 1 hour.
  • Using a fork, scrape the ice crystals on the edges towards the center of the dish. Place the dish back in the freezer, and freeze an additional 1 hour. Repeat until ice crystals have developed throughout the mixture (about 4 hours total freezing time).
  • Spoon granita into glasses or serving dishes, drizzle with coconut butter (if using), and serve immediately.
