[step-item number=”2″ image_url=”” title=”” ]Pour into a shallow metal pan. Cover and freeze until frozen solid, at least 4 hours or overnight. Break the mixture into chunks with a sturdy knife (or if your pan is somewhat flexible, twist the opposite corners and push up from the bottom to loosen the whole frozen sheet from the pan; then break it into chunks). Process in a food processor until soft and snowy but not melted, about 1 minute. Stop occasionally to make sure there are no big chunks in the mixture.[/step-item]
