- ⅓ cup (80ml) lime juice
vanilla cream
- ¾ cup (180ml) thickened cream
- 1 tablespoon icing (confectioner’s) sugar

- Place the water and sugar in a saucepan over low heat and stir to dissolve. Remove from the heat and refrigerate until cold. Add the pineapple and lime juice to the cooled syrup, pour into a shallow metal container and freeze for 4 hours or until firm. Rake the granita with a fork and return to the freezer.
