Time 2h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups hot espresso or strong bold coffee
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Kosher salt
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Shaved dark chocolate, for serving
Crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans, for serving

Steps:

  • For the espresso granita: Whisk the sugar into the hot espresso until dissolved. Stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture in to a 9-by-13-inch freezer-safe pan and freeze until the mixture is frozen through, at least 3 hours and up to overnight. When ready to serve, scrape the surface into large, icy flakes.
  • For the soft whipped cream: Place a 16-ounce glass jar with a lid in the freezer for 20 minutes. Pour in the cold cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla and shake vigorously until soft whipped cream forms, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve: Spoon some of the granita into a glass. Top with a dollop of soft whipped cream and sprinkle on chocolate shavings and crushed espresso beans.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my granita turned out too sweet. I think I'll use less sugar next time. The coffee flavor was good, and the whipped cream was delicious. I think this would be a good dessert for a party or gathering.

This granita was a bit too icy for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The coffee flavor was good, and the whipped cream was delicious. I think this would be a good dessert for a hot summer day.
