Yield Makes 4 servings or about 3 3/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups hot espresso or other very strong coffee
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • Stir together coffee and sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then stir in vanilla. Pour into an 8-inch metal baking pan (1-quart capacity) and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until slushy, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir vigorously with a fork until slightly smoother and more uniform in texture, 30 seconds. Freeze until firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes more.
  • Divide granita among serving dishes and top with whipped cream.
