on Jul 16, 2014, Updated Nov 16, 2023 4 Comments As much as I love homemade ice cream recipes, I also love a how refreshing a granita is on a hot day! For an easy, yet elegant dessert for a simple supper, this coffee granita is just what I need! I begin with the two main ingredients – my cold brew coffee like I make to use for iced coffee, along with a bit of simple syrup. I also like to add a pinch of espresso powder just to heighten the flavor as the third ingredient. Now, if I am serving it late really late or know that someone is sensitive to caffeine, I’ll use a decaffeinated coffee for the cold brew coffee portion and skip the espresso powder completely. It still tastes fabulous! To the hot brewed coffee, add your sugar and espresso powder. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Then, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe baking dish. Then, place your granita pan into the freezer. About every twenty to thirty minutes or so, you’ll remove the pan from the freezer and scrape it with the tines of a fork. Then, return it to the freezer, repeating until there is now more loose liquid in the container. Then freeze for an additional thirty minutes. To serve the granita, I love to scoop it into a glass dessert dish or dessert glass and top with sweetened whipped cream. But seriously, it is amazing just right by itself! Here’s my Coffee Granita recipe. Enjoy!Robyn xo
