Tips:

  • Use a strong coffee: A bold coffee flavor will stand up to the sweetness of the other ingredients and prevent the granita from tasting too icy.
  • Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar or sweetener you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • Chill the ingredients: Before making the granita, chill the coffee, milk, and sweetener. This will help the granita freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a shallow dish: A shallow dish will allow the granita to freeze evenly. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good option.
  • Stir the granita frequently: As the granita freezes, stir it every 30 minutes or so. This will help to break up the ice crystals and create a smooth texture.

Conclusion:

Sugar-free coffee granita is a delicious and refreshing way to cool down on a hot day. It's also a great way to use up leftover coffee. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this easy and flavorful treat at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and icy treat, give sugar-free coffee granita a try!
