Mango Orange Lime Granita Recipes

MANGO-LIME GRANITA

Steps:

• Place chopped mango in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, and process until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the water, lime juice, and sugar, and stir to dissolve.
• Pour mixture into a 9-by-5-inch deep-sided metal pan, and place in the freezer until nearly set, about 3 hours, whisking mixture every hour. Remove from freezer, and scrape surface with the tines of a fork until it is the texture of shaved ice. Return to freezer until ready to serve. Granita can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer up to 2 weeks.

ORANGE-LIME PIE WITH MERINGUE TOPPING

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Pulse the graham crackers in a food processor until crumbly. Slowly drizzle in the butter while pulsing until the crumbs are moist but still crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the side of an 8-inch springform pan using the bottom of a measuring cup, making sure the crust goes at least 1 inch up the side. Set aside.
• Whisk together the egg yolks, condensed milk, lime and orange zests and juices in a medium bowl. Pour into the crust and bake until the pie sets, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler. Whisk the egg whites in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed until foamy. Slowly add the sugar until the meringue turns glossy. Increase the speed and continue whisking until the meringue holds medium-soft peaks and is glossy but not dry. Top the pie decoratively with the meringue. Broil in the middle of the oven until the meringue begins browning on top, about 3 minutes. Serve warm or let cool to room temperature.

MANGO, LIME, AND CHILE GRANITA

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium heat, combine the water and sugar. Cook and stir until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup looks clear, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool the syrup by pouring it into a bowl and putting it into the refrigerator or over an ice bath.
• Put the sugar syrup, lime zest, lime juice, and mango chunks into a blender. Puree until smooth. Pour the mango mixture into a shallow baking pan and freeze for 1 hour. Using a fork or a couple of chopsticks, break up all the ice crystals on the bottom and sides of the pan. This incorporates air so the final product literally melts in your mouth. Freeze for 3 to 4 hours, until the mixture has reached a frozen granular consistency. You can serve it two ways: Either rake the granita with the tines of a fork for a snow-cone-like product or run an ice-cream scooper down the length for a smooth Italian-ice-like result. Spoon it into a wine or martini glass and lightly sprinkle with the chile powder.
