Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Iced Coffee Granita.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients: strong black coffee, white sugar, and coffee-flavored liqueur if you choose to add a little extra flair.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the coffee, sugar, and liqueur, whisking them together until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Once your mixture is smooth, pour it into an 8x12 or 9x13-inch dish.
Step 4
Now, it’s time for a little patience—place the dish in the freezer, leaving it uncovered, and let it freeze for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until you notice the edges starting to get slushy.
Step 5
After that, take a fork and gently scrape the frozen edges, mixing them back into the liquid.
Step 6
If you encounter any larger ice chunks, don’t hesitate to crush them with the back of the fork.
Step 7
Return the dish to the freezer and repeat this scraping process every 30 minutes.
Step 8
You’ll want to do this until you reach that perfect granita consistency, which usually takes about 4 to 5 cycles.
Step 9
Once you’re happy with the texture, you can serve your delightful granita right away, or for an even better experience, pop it back in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight.
Step 10
This extra time will enhance the texture, making each spoonful a refreshing treat.
Step 11
Enjoy your homemade coffee granita, a perfect way to cool down and indulge in a little coffee magic!.
