Servings: 4 serves
Ingredients
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee hot
- ⅓ cup superfine sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl whisk together the hot coffee with sugar and vanilla until the sugar is dissolved.
- Transfer to a flat bottomed freezer safe baking pan. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the pan to the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape around the edges and break up the large ice pieces. Return to the freezer.
- Repeat step 4 every 30 minutes for 2-2.5 hours, breaking up any large ice pieces until you have a light and fluffy icy granita mix.
- Spoon the granita into chilled glasses and serve immediately.
- Store any remaining granita in the freezer.
Notes
- Don't use a non-stick tray to freeze your granita, as the fork may scratch and damage the tray's coating. Use a regular cake pan or glass baking dish instead.
- The granita is best eaten on the day it is prepared, but it can be stored in a sealed container in the freezer.
- If stored in the freezer, you may need to sit it on the benchtop for 20 minutes to soften before scraping again with a fork before serving.
