Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups water
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, separated
2 cups frozen raspberries, thawed
1 cup purple grape juice concentrate
4 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup orange juice concentrate
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • In a saucepan bring the water and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Let cool then pour into a shallow pan and freeze overnight. The next day, scrape the surface of the ice with a metal spoon to make shaved ice. Store in the freezer until ready to serve. To make the toppings, puree the raspberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and strain to remove the seeds and set aside. Blend the grape juice concentrate with the mint leaves in a blender and strain and set aside. Whisk together the citrus juices and honey and set aside. Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop a ball of the shaved ice onto 4 cones. Drizzle with various syrups and serve immediately.

Categories     dessert

Time 5h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 2

Two 12-ounce bottles stout beer, such as Guinness
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • This is quite possibly the easiest dessert to make. Simply stir your beer and brown sugar together in a high-sided bowl and pour the mixture into an 8-inch square baking dish. Let freeze for 1 hour, until you see ice crystals forming at the edge of the baking dish.
  • Using a fork, mix the icy part of the granita into the rest of the beer mixture in the dish. Continue to do this every 45 minutes or so, until the dish has an Italian ice texture. This could take 3 to 4 hours.
  • To serve, simply scoop into a cup.
