How to Make Coffee Granita
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of freshly brewed strong coffee, 1/2 cup of castor sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Pour the coffee mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container (ideally at least 2 inches deep).
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until solid.
- Remove from the freezer and break the frozen coffee mixture into chunks using a fork. The goal is to create a rough, icy texture.
- Return the granita to the freezer for another 30-60 minutes to refreeze slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add 2 tablespoons of icing sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Cover the whipped cream and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To serve, scoop the coffee granita into 6 glasses.
- Top each serving with a generous spoonful of whipped cream.
- Dust with cocoa powder and serve immediately. Enjoy!
