Ingredients:
the flesh of 1 ripe mango
1 cup vanilla yogurt
the juice of half a lime and a few scrapings of its zest
2 tablespoons (more or less) sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
Whir all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.
Taste the mixture for sweetness: it should taste sweeter than you want the finished popsicle to taste, since freezing will dull the sweetness a bit. Add more sugar if it needs it, or a bit more limejuice or zest if the flavors aren't smacking you in the head with their vibrant excellence.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 4 hours.

Watermelon Granita
Ingredients
4 cups of cubed, seedless watermelon
1/2 cup sugar
Juice from one lime
1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger root (optional)
Directions
In the bowl of a food processor (or a blender), pulse watermelon, sugar and lime juice until smooth. If using, place grated ginger in a paper towel and squeeze juice into the puree. Pulse again to blend.
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour watermelon mixture through it, pressing on the solids to extract every last bit of juice into the bowl. Discard (or eat solids) and pour the juice into a 9x13 inch pan, and place in the freezer.
After one hour scrape mixture with a fork. Repeat hourly for the next three hours which will give the granita a fluffy, granular texture. Spoon into small bowls and serve.
