  • Champagne Granita

    Ok, I just thought of two different versions. Play with it and make your own versions. I am going to make this for a special dinner for my sweety.

    1 bottle champagne
    3t freshly grated ginger
    1/2 cup splenda (I am gonna try to find the liquid splenda)

    bring the first two to a boil and immediately remove from heat, stir for 5 minutes and then add the splenda. when cool, pour into stainless steel, or glass bowl and freeze. every 2 hours scrape the ice crystals off the bowl and stir until it is totally frozen, but very soft. The ice crystals should never be stuck together, even when completely frozen. you have to stir often to acheive this. start in early morning and work on it all day.

    1 bottle champagne
    1 cup daVinci raspberry, or peach syrup

    boil as above and add syrup the same time as the splenda above. After each are totally frozen, put in chilled martini glasses to serve and garnish with mint leaves, berry, or a nut.

    Hey Pamela...this sounds really good for those on OWL. I like it because it only has a handful of ingredients LOL

      Hi VR!!! I have missed seeing you. I guess we are posting in different places these days. I was thinking of making this for a New Years dinner. Champagne only has 2 carbs per serving. Can I have it anytime in OWL?

          Oh well...... LOL I may not do it then. With all the alcohol talk in here I figured it was before. Thanks VR!

            Actually, wouldn't the alcohol boil off? What you'd be left with is grape juice sort of, right? Not sure how this would fit in...but it definitely sounds awesome...and if we could have the champagne with alcohol in OWL, why not sans alcohol?

              Actually, only about 1/2 of it will evaporate, because you do not let it boil, just bring it to a boil, but, if you let it boil for about 5 minutes I am sure it would all be gone. I thought about that, but I try to avoid pushing my opinion around on bulletin boards! LOL I know that alcohol evaporating is a fact, not opinion, but if it would lead someone to stumble because of misinterpretation, then I just leave it alone. Besides, i didn't know yet when alcohol was allowed, so I was glad to find out. I needed to know!!! LOL
