This coffee granita is easy to make, with a delicious sweet coffee flavor and icy coldness.
Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup espresso (see notes)
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, but does help enhance flavor)
Instructions
- Place the espresso and water (or strong coffee) in a small pan with the sugar and vanilla, if using. Warm gently to dissolve the sugar then set aside to cool. Once lukewarm, transfer to the fridge to chill completely.
- Once the coffee mixture is cold, pour into a shallow container such as a loaf tin and place in the freezer. Remove from the freezer roughly every 30 minutes and break up the ice with a fork - initially you more mash it from the edges, then as it freezes more you fluff it up a little to get some air between the ice crystals.
- After around 2 hours, it should be pretty well frozen. Break up the ice crystals one last time then serve, traditionally in a clear glass and often topped with some whipped cream.
Notes
- If you don't have espresso then use 1 cup/240ml strong coffee instead eg cafetière/French press style.
