Coffee Granita - Granita di Caffè - creative and colorful Italian dessert

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups freshly brewed strong coffee
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Whipped cream for serving (optional)
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by brewing your favorite strong coffee. This will ensure that the flavor shines through once frozen.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely to create a simple syrup. Allow to cool.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brewed coffee, simple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Pour the coffee mixture into a shallow dish, like a baking pan, and place it in the freezer.
  5. After about 30 minutes, check on the mixture. Use a fork to scrape the ice crystals that are starting to form. Continue to freeze for another 30 minutes, repeating the scraping process every 30 minutes until the granita is fluffy and light, about 2 to 3 hours in total.
  6. Once ready, fluff the granita one last time with a fork before serving. Spoon it into dessert cups and top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings or cocoa powder if desired.
  7. Enjoy your homemade Coffee Granita on a hot day or as a delightful ending to any meal!

This Coffee Granita recipe is not only simple but it also allows you to customize each serving with your choice of toppings. Whether you love a rich whipped cream topping or a sprinkle of cocoa, the options are endless. Treat yourself and your loved ones to this vibrant Italian delight!
