Granita di gelsi

Mulberry granita is a frozen Sicilian specialty that is prepared with puréed black mulberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. The combination is then frozen and should be occasionally mixed with a fork to achieve its typical grainy texture. Like other types of granita, this mulberry version is also sometimes topped with whipped cream, and typically comes served with Sicilian brioche (brioscia). It is a standard breakfast option, but it is also enjoyed as a refreshing dessert.
