3 lemons, divided

1 cup boiling water

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Gelatin

1/2 cup KOOL-AID Pina-Pineapple Flavor Sugar-Sweetened Soft Drink Mix

1-1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh pineapple

1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint, thinly sliced

Let's Make It

Cut lemons in half. Cut 1 lemon half into thin slices. Squeeze enough juice from remaining lemon halves to measure 1/3 cup.

Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in drink mix until dissolved.

Mash pineapple. Add to gelatin mixture along with the lemon slices, lemon juice and mint; mix well. Pour into 9-inch square pan. Freeze 3 hours or until firm.

Remove dessert from freezer; let stand 5 min. Process in food processor or blender until smooth. Transfer to freezer container; freeze 4 hours or until firm.

Kitchen Tips

Tip 1

Food Facts

For best results, do not use canned pineapple chunks to prepare this refreshing dessert since that would cause the gelatin to set resulting in a gelatinous texture instead of the smooth creamy granita you get when you use fresh pineapple.

Tip 2

Note

Finished sorbet can be frozen up to 24 hours before serving.

Tip 3

Substitute

Prepare using KOOL-AID Orange Flavor Sugar-Sweetened Drink Mix.
