Guest guest Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Coffee Granita 1/2 cup sugar 2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur 1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest 2 cups hot espresso or very strong black coffee Mix the sugar, coffee liqueur and zest in a 9x13 inch metal pan and add the hot coffee. Stir well to dissolve the sugar. Use a large enough pan to spread the mixture out in a very shallow layer. Allow to cool for a few minutes, and put the pan in the freezer on a level shelf. Freeze for 1 hour. Take the coffee mixture out of the freezer and use a fork to scrape up the ice crystals and break up any frozen chunks. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every 30 minutes for about 3 hours until the mixture has completely frozen, and each scraping yields more tiny ice crystals. The granita should be light and flaky. Scrape the granita crystals a final time and mound lightly into glasses or dessert goblets. Makes 4 servings. The best gets better.
