Method

step 1

Halve the melons, discard the seeds and scoop out the flesh. Put the flesh in a food processor and whizz to a pulp. Pour it into a shallow, freezer-proof box and freeze overnight. Crush the cardamom seeds into the icing sugar and tip into a airtight container.
step 2

Whip the cream to soft peaks, sieve the icing sugar over the cream and whip it in. Scrape the granita with a fork until you have a mass of ice crystals. Spoon alternate layers of granita and cream into glasses to serve. Squeeze lime juice over before serving.
