Almond-Milk Granita (Granita di Mandorle) image

At Caffè Sicilia, this granita is served for breakfast along with a brioche and a shot of espresso-a wonderful way to start the day. Unlike most other granitas, it has an almost creamy texture. (The Caffè Sicilia almond paste, though pricey, is worth it: Incredibly moist and possessing a delicate floral quality, it tastes so pure that we actually eat it by the spoonful.)

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 cup almond paste (3 1/2 ounces; preferably Caffè Sicilia brand)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups bottled spring water (not carbonated)
Accompaniments: warm brioche; espresso

Steps:

  • Blend together almond paste, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water in a blender until smooth, foamy, and white. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8-inch square baking pan, reserving any solids in sieve. Add remaining 1/2 cup water to solids in sieve and whisk over baking pan until most of water passes through (do not press on solids).
  • Stir mixture, then freeze, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, until firm but not frozen hard, 2 to 3 hours. Scrape with a fork to lighten texture, crushing any lumps.

I'm not a big fan of almond milk, but this granita is actually really good. The flavor is subtle and the texture is smooth.

This is a great recipe for a dairy-free granita. The almond milk gives it a creamy texture and a nutty flavor. I also like that it's sweetened with honey, which makes it a healthier option.
