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 9x13-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.
