Nothing cools you off faster than a granita, the Italian shaved-ice delight. This one, made with coconut water, is a real catch: It's uncommonly refreshing and stunningly simple to make.

What Coconut Water to Use

This granita will mimic the color of the coconut water that is used in the recipe. If you want a pink color, look for the Harmless Harvest brand of raw unprocessed coconut water in the refrigerated beverage section of your grocery store.

Directions

  1. Mix coconut water and sugar; freeze:

    Combine coconut water and sugar in a 2-quart baking dish; stir to dissolve sugar. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month (covered if freezing longer than a day).

  2. Scrape surface with fork and serve:

    Using the tines of a fork, scrape surface to create ice crystals; transfer to serving bowls or glasses; top with strawberries and coconut flakes and serve immediately.
