This recipe was a total disaster. The granita never set, and it ended up tasting like watered-down coffee. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This coffee granita was an absolute hit at my last dinner party. The combination of coffee, cream, and sugar was perfectly balanced, and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again!
