1. Wash the seedless grapes thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2. Remove the grapes from their stems and place them into a food processor or blender.
3. Blend the grapes on high speed until they form a smooth, juice-like consistency.
4. Pour the blended grapes through a fine mesh strainer into a shallow baking dish to remove any pulp or skin. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press down firmly and extract as much liquid as possible.
5. Discard the pulp and spread the strained grape juice evenly across the baking dish.
6. Place the baking dish in the freezer. After 30 minutes, use a fork to scrape and break up any ice crystals that have started to form.
7. Repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 2-3 hours, scraping the mixture with a fork each time to achieve a light, fluffy granita texture.
8. Once fully frozen and the granita has a crumbly, sorbet-like texture, scoop into bowls or glasses and serve immediately.
9. Optional: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 week. Fluff with a fork before serving again.
