Lime granita recipe

Ingredients For the granita 170g caster sugar 350ml lime juice 1tsp finely grated lime zest 750ml water lime wedges, to garnish For the brandy snap biscuits 50g unsalted butter, softened 50g caster sugar 50g plain flour, sifted 2tbsp golden syrup 1tsp brandy ½tsp ground ginger finely grated zest of ½ lemon

Prepare the lime granita by combining the sugar with the water in a medium saucepan. Bring to the boil over a medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and chill for 60 minutes. After chilling, stir in the lime zest and lime juice. Pour the mixture into a shallow plastic tub and freeze. Every 30 minutes, stir and break up the ice that forms with a fork and return to the freezer between times. Do so for 3 hours until you have a slushy, granular texture. Before serving, prepare the brandy snap biscuits by melting together the sugar, syrup and butter. Allow to cool a little before stirring in the rest of the ingredients until smooth. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and grease and line a baking tray. Drop tablespoons of the mixture onto the tray in discs, spaced apart and bake in the oven in batches if necessary for 6-8 minutes until just set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the tray a little before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and serve with the lime granita at serving point. Garnish the granita with a lime wedge before serving.
