Recipe by Susan Spungen A grown-up shaved ice, with a welcome hit of spice from the pepper.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cantaloupe, rind and seeds removed, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Muscat de Beaumes de Venise or other sweet dessert wine
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus coarsely ground for serving

Instructions

  1. Purée cantaloupe, sugar, Muscat, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a blender until smooth. Transfer to a shallow baking dish and freeze mixture until edges begin to set, about 30 minutes.
  2. Using a fork, scrape mixture to break up frozen portions. Freeze, scraping and breaking up every 20 –30 minutes, until mixture resembles fluffy shaved ice, 2 –4 hours. Serve granita topped with coarsely ground pepper.
  3. Do ahead: Granita can be made 3 days ahead. Cover with plastic wrap and keep frozen. Scrape before serving.
