Actress and cook Pamela Anderson has presented a watermelon granita recipe from her cookbook "I Love You". This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
According to Anderson, this dessert is a perfect choice for hot summer days. "My cookbook 'I Love You' began as a box of recipe cards: a housewarming gift for my sons, inspired by our homegrown traditions and world travel," she says.
Anderson admits she doesn't have a strong sweet tooth, so for her, dessert is more about being social and having something to share over cards, tea and coffee. "This Watermelon Granita is something beautiful to pull out at a barbecue — either in paper cups or in crystal glasses on a long picnic table outside… the dessert itself is pretty enough," she adds.
According to the recipe, combine the watermelon, lemon juice and sugar in a blender and puree on high speed for 1 minute. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours. Use a fork to scrape the frozen mixture to create tiny ice crystals. Return to the freezer and continue checking and scraping every 30 minutes or so until the granita is completely frozen as beautiful flaky crystals. Serve in little bowls.
Pamela Anderson is an actress, activist, and lifelong cook and homemaker. She says that being a mother to sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee has been her greatest source of pride. The recipe is excerpted from "I Love You" by Pamela Anderson. Copyright © 2024 by Anderson Media Company, LLC. Used with permission of Voracious, an imprint of Little, Brown and Company.
