Stir in the lime juice. Pour into a wide shallow tray and freeze.

After 1 hour, scrape with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes until you have a fluffy frozen snow — about 4 hours total.

The story
A granita is the laziest frozen dessert there is. You freeze a liquid, scrape it with a fork every half hour for a few hours, and you have something that looks elaborate and tastes like exactly the thing you started with.
Coconut water makes the cleanest possible version. No cream, no sugar, no fuss — just frozen tender coconut, grated with a fork, with a hit of lime to keep it bright.
