• If you don't have fresh passion fruit, you can use passion fruit juice or puree instead.
• To make the granita ahead of time, you can freeze it overnight. Just make sure to scrape it with a fork before serving to break up any large ice crystals.

Storage and Serving

• To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before scooping.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of citrus fruit for an extra pop of color and flavor.
