Servings: 6
Calories: 37kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces blackberries frozen and thawed
- 8 ounces raspberries frozen and thawed
- 3/4 cup cold water or pasteurized egg whites (from a box) for higher protein
- 3 tablespoons allulose
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon stevia glycerite or to taste
- generous pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice or to taste
Instructions
- Combine the berries in a bowl and blend with an immersion blender until smooth (or add to a blender and blend until smooth). Pass the puree through a fine mesh strainer (pressing with a large spoon to extract as much of the puree as possible – you should have 1 cup puree) into a freezer safe 9×13-inch pan, preferably glass. Pour the cold water through the strainer to rinse any remaining puree and press again. Discard the seeds.
- Stir in the allulose, stevia, salt, and lime juice until everything is dissolved and evenly mixed. Adjust sweetness by adding more stevia or lime juice as desired.
- Transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes. The mixture should begin forming ice crystals around the edge at this time. Use a for to break up the crystals before placing the pan back in the freezer to continue setting. Repeat every 15-30 minutes, or until completely frozen, about 2-3 hours.
- The granita can be covered and stored at this point. Best served the same day but will last up to a week, frozen. You may want to gently thaw for a few minutes if it is frozen overnight or more.
