About the dish

Mulberry granita is a frozen Sicilian specialty that is prepared with puréed black mulberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. The combination is then frozen and should be occasionally mixed with a fork to achieve its typical grainy texture. Like other types of granita, this mulberry version is also sometimes topped with whipped cream, and typically comes served with Sicilian brioche ( brioscia ). It is a standard breakfast option, but it is also enjoyed as a refreshing dessert.
