Berry Granita

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
  • 1 bag (10 oz.) frozen blueberries
  • 1 lemon peeled and juiced
  • lemon twist for garnish
  • 1/2 cup low-fat frozen whipped topping, thawed (optional)
Makes 6 Servings
  1.  In a small pot over medium heat, combine the water and sugar substitute. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes,  then set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. In a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine  the blueberries, lemon peel and juice, and cooled syrup. Pulse for 2 minutes, or until the blueberries are coarsely ground. Pour into a small metal bowl and stir a few times with a fork to break up any large pieces. Cover the bowl with foil and place in the freezer overnight.
  3. Spoon into 6 serving glasses, garnish with a lemon twist, and top with the whipped topping, if using.
WW POINTS VALUE: 1 pt.
 
Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. This is such a wonderful dessert to enjoy in the summer. Berries are in season and there is nothing like a frozen berry dessert to cool you off in the heat wave. You can use any kind of berry in this dessert and it will still be delicious. I highly recommend serving this for dessert when your having company for dinner because it looks and tastes so beautiful.
