A granita really is the ultimate summer dessert! It’s light, refreshing, and packed with seasonal fruit flavours. Think of it as a grown-up sno-cone, with a hint of lime and a splash of vodka (optional, of course!). Best of all, you don’t need any fancy equipment—just a small food procssor, a shallow dish, a fork, […] Read more…
Like many of you, I grew up with trifle. My mom believed in traditional trifle. Admittedly my relationship with this traditional dessert is a love-hate one.
