A few weeks ago, my daughter gave me some Mangos. Today I found one Mango still sitting in the fruit bowl, and it was absolutely ripened with its skin covered with freckles. I decided to make it into this Granita. Nothing is easier to make than this icy dessert, and it was lovely to enjoy on a hot day like today.

  4. Use a fork to break up into crystals and enjoy.
