Ingredients

4 cups (1 litre) fresh strawberries, halved
3/4 cup (180 ml) sugar
1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) champagne or other sparkling wine

Preparation

In the food processor, purée the strawberries until smooth with the sugar and lemon juice. Strain.
Add the champagne and stir with a whisk. Pour into a 20-cm (8-inch) glass dish or in a sealable container. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or until the granita is completely frozen.
With a fork, scrape the surface of the granita to break it into crystals. Scoop into frozen cold dessert cups. Serve immediately as a dessert or palate cleanser.

Note

A “Trou Normand” was originally a small glass of liqueur, (usually calvados) served between courses to cleanse your palate. Nowadays, it is often served as a sorbet drizzled with liqueur.
