Best Coffee Granita With Cardamom Whipped Cream Recipes
GRANITA DI CAFFE CON PANNA (ITALIAN COFFEE GRANITA)
You are sure to see people enjoying coffee granita if you visit Sicily during the summer months. Here's the recipe so you can make it at home. It's very easy to do but requires a lot of freezing so best to prepare in advance. It's usually served with whipped cream both at the bottom and on top of the glass, alongside a sweet brioche roll. You can store in the freezer for a few days, just make sure to stir well before serving.

COFFEE GRANITA
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts. Pour mixture into 9 by 13-inch metal pan and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour. (Mixture should only come about 1/4-inch up the side of the pan.) Remove and use a dinner fork to scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan. Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 20 to 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours. Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to "dry" in freezer another half hour before serving. When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
- Scoop into goblets and top with barely sweetened whipped cream, add additional citrus zest if desired.
CARDAMOM COFFEE AND CREAM GRANITA
Steps:
- Split cardamom pods and sprinkle seeds in with coffee when brewing. Combine coffee, sweetened condensed milk and water. Sweeten to taste. Place mixture in metal bowl and freeze for 2 to 3 hours or until slushy. Remove from freezer and mash with whisk or fork until soft. Return to freezer and leave for 2-3 hours more.
COFFEE GRANITA
I'm showing you how to make this incredibly refreshing Italian treat. I'm not saying that a coffee granita is the best frozen dessert ever, and I'm not saying this is the best coffee dessert ever, but this might be the best frozen coffee dessert ever. The technique could not be any easier. Serve in a clear glass garnished with sweetened whipped cream and a pinch of cocoa.
