Coffee Granita
Description
Chef John's easy coffee granita recipe is the perfect frozen dessert for hot summer days.
Ingredients
•
3 cups prepared strong black coffee
•
3/4 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
Directions
1
Gather the ingredients.
2
Combine coffee, sugar, and coffee liqueur in a bowl with a whisk until sugar dissolves.
3
Pour mixture into an 8x12- or 9x13-inch dish. Freeze, uncovered, until it just starts to get slushy around the outside, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
4
Take a fork and break the frozen pieces up, stirring into the liquid. Crush any large pieces with the back of the fork.
5
Return to the freezer and repeat the process every 30 minutes until you've reached your desired consistency, about 4 to 5 times total.
6
Serve immediately or return to the freezer and chill for 8 hours, or overnight, before serving for best results.
