Ingredients
Feta Ice Cream
Watermelon Granita
Instructions
- Prepare ice-cream in a large, deep, mixing bowl. Beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Pour condensed milk, vanilla, and 1/3 cup feta into the whipped cream. Use a large spatula to gently fold the ingredients until combined. Spread mixture into a standard bread loaf pan and freeze until solid, approximately 3 hours.
- Meanwhile prepare the granita. Place watermelon and sugar in a blender, process until smooth. Pour into a 10 inch-round metal cake pan. Stir in the lime zest, juice, and mint leaves. Freeze until mixture begins to solidify around the edges, about 60-90 minutes. Use a fork to gently scrape frozen crystals to the slushy center, lightly stir to combine. Freeze an additional 60-90 minutes then scrape again with a fork to break mixture into solid, loose crystals. Cover until ready to serve.
- Prepare Ice-Cream and granita in pretty dessert glasses or larger ramekins. Scoop ice-cream and top with a good amount of granita, garnish with mint leaves, remaining feta, and enjoy.
