Easy-to-make almond milk is the rich, flavorful foundation for this icy treat. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups whole milk |
1/2 cup slivered almonds (about 3 ounces), toasted, cooled, chopped |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup almond paste (not marzipan; about 2 1/2 ounces) |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
Directions:
1. Purée all ingredients with 1 1/4 cups water in a blender until smooth. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a 9x9x2 metal baking pan; strain, discarding solids. Freeze mixture for 1 hour. Stir, mashing any frozen parts with the back of a fork. Cover and freeze mixture until firm, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape granita vigorously to form icy flakes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover tightly with foil and keep frozen. Give it a quick scrape before serving.
