Ingredients
Instructions
-
Bring salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve salt and sugar. Let syrup cool. Stir in rose water, if using, and pour mixture into a 13x9x2" baking pan, preferably metal.
-
Freeze mixture until edges begin to set, 25 –30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape to break up any frozen parts, then continue to freeze, scraping and breaking up mixture every 20 –30 minutes, until it resembles fluffy shaved ice, 2 –3 hours.
-
Toss blackberries, lime juice, and remaining 2 tsp. sugar in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature, tossing occasionally, until berries soften slightly, 10 –15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5 –8 minutes; let cool.
-
Scoop granita into bowls, dividing evenly, and top with blackberries and some of their juices, toasted almonds, and mint leaves.
Why this Sweet Granita With Blackberries, Toasted Almonds, and Mint works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Sweet Granita With Blackberries, Toasted Almonds, and Mint works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
