How to Make Frozen Coffee Granita

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of freshly brewed hot coffee with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. Pour the coffee mixture into an 8x8 inch metal baking pan. Freeze for 1 hour, stirring every 30 minutes with a spatula to break up ice crystals.
  3. Once the mixture is slushy, transfer it to a large bowl. Use a fork to vigorously stir the mixture, breaking it down further for a smoother, more uniform texture.
  4. Return the mixture to the freezer. Freeze for another 30-40 minutes, or until firm enough to scoop easily with a spoon or ice cream scoop.
  5. Divide the granita into serving dishes or glasses. Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of indulgence.
