"My friend sent me this recipe, and it is really delicious. I have made it several times for a couple of ladies I cook for; and, it is just so easy and delicious. I usually have orange blossom water on hand, so this was another perfect recipe to use it with. It's like a creamy granita. Just plan ahead, you do need to stir it every 30 minutes or so; and, it does take a good 4-5 hours to freeze up. Orange blossom water is very floral/fragrant, and the taste can be over powering for some. So start with a little and add more to your taste. I happen to love to flavor, but some do find it a bit much; maybe an acquired taste."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Orange ... Zest the orange and set to the side in a small bowl or ziploc bag. This will be used as the garnish. Then, juice the orange, which is used in the granita.
Step 2
Base ... In a 9x9 glass dish, or similar size dish; add the yogurt, orange juice, and sugar and mix well. Freeze 4-5 hours, scraping (using a fork), and stirring every 30 minutes until the entire dish is firm. If you don't stir every 30 minutes, it will freeze in a solid block which you don't want. You want it to look like a "snow cone."
Step 3
Serve ... Add a scoop of the granita in your favorite dessert dishes, martini glasses, or wine classes, etc. Garnish with the orange zest and a mint sprig. And - chocolate is the perfect compliment to the yogurt; so, I love a chocolate dipped cookie too. ENJOY!
