Cook Healthy and QuickThis coffee-flavored granita is simple to prepare. Make sure the texture is crystallized, like shaved ice.

  • Yield: 4 Servings
  • Preparation Time: 5 Minutes
  • Cooking Time: 5 Minutes

Ingredients

  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cup very strong espresso coffee, chilled
How to Make It
  1. Set the freezer to its coldest setting and place four freezerproof serving bowls or glasses in the freezer. In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in 1¼ cup cold water over medium heat. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then boil for 5 minutes to make a light syrup.
  2. Pour the syrup into a shallow, freezerproof dish. Stir in the vanilla extract and coffee, then set aside to cool completely.
  3. Transfer to the freezer. Use a fork to break up the frozen chunks every 30 minutes or so. Continue to do this for 4 hours, or until the mixture has the texture of shaved ice, then leave the granita in the freezer until ready to serve.
