Someone around here, (I'm not naming names) got me hooked on granitas. This serves a lot, so you can claim more converts. They are yummy! Ingredients:
4 cups freshly brewed extra strong coffee |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 1/4 cups heavy cream |
semi-sweet chocolate shavings (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the coffee, sugar and cinnamon and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the cream and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
3. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish and place in the freezer.
4. Using a fork, scrape around the sides of the dish every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals until all the liquid is completely frozen, about 3 hours.
5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and keep frozen until ready to serve.
6. (The granita can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the freezer.).
7. Just before serving, using a handheld mixer, whip the remaining 1 cup cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
8. Divide the granita among 8 coffee cups with saucers.
9. Top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
