Ingredients for Amarula Granita

  • Brewed Espresso
  • Sugar
  • 1.5 oz Vodka
  • Ice Cube
  • Amarula Cream Liqueur
  • 2 oz Heavy Cream
  • Chocolate Shavings

How to Make Amarula Granita

  1. In a shaker, combine 1.5 oz vodka, 1 oz cold espresso, 2 tsp sugar, 2 oz heavy cream, and a handful of ice cubes.
  2. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until well-chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish.
  4. Freeze for 1 hour. Then, scrape the partially frozen mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals.
  5. Repeat the scraping process every hour for a total of 3 hours, or until the granita reaches a desired icy consistency.
  6. For an extra special touch, serve in a martini glass and top with a swirl of extra Amarula cream before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
