Environmental Nutrition: Get your passion (fruit) on!
Young Coconut Passion Fruit Granita
Serves 4
Recipe courtesy of Frieda's Inc.
Meat and water from 1 young coconut (about 1 cup water)
3 tablespoons agave syrup
Pulp from 3 passion fruits (Optional: Save the peel to use as serving vessels!)
Pinch of sea salt
1. In blender, blend all ingredients until well combined. You will still have some passion fruit seeds and coconut meat in chunks.
2. Pour mixture in metal baking pan. Freeze 30 minutes, or until top and edges are icy.
3. Using a fork, scrape to break up all the ice. Repeat every 30 minutes until mixture is frozen into fluffy "snow." Let freeze at least an hour before serving.
4. Optional serving: Use the peel as a serving vessel.
