Ingredients
- 480 ml Brewed coffee
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- 0 Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Brew 480 ml of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled coffee, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Step 3
Pour the coffee mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish. Using a shallow dish helps the mixture freeze evenly and makes it easier to scrape.
Step 4
Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 5
After 30 minutes, remove the dish from the freezer and use a fork to scrape the surface of the partially frozen coffee mixture, creating icy flakes. Return the dish to the freezer.
Step 6
Repeat the scraping process every 30 minutes for the next 2-3 hours, or until the granita has a fluffy, flaky texture.
Step 7
When ready to serve, divide the granita into individual serving glasses or bowls using a spoon.
Step 8
Optional: Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for added indulgence.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful frozen treat!
