COCONUT GRANITA



Coconut Granita image

One of the first harbingers of summer in New York, especially above west 96th St, is the appearance on our street corners of carts selling 'coco helado,' or coconut ice. These little ices are a favorite at CFYL, so we decided to make our own version. In this Coconut Granita we used coconut milk to make a richer tasting and less sugary treat, and we think we've come up with something that is both simple and delicious. It's chic enough to be dessert for a dinner party, and down home enough to be eaten on the street from a paper cup like its inspiration.

4 cups unsweetened coconut milk
3/4 teaspoon almond extract

COCONUT-LIME GRANITA

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup sugar
1 (13 1/2-ounce) can coconut milk (not low-fat!)
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1/2 a lime
2 tablespoons shredded coconut (either fresh or the unsweetened desiccated kind)
Coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Place an 8-inch square baking dish in the freezer to chill while you make the simple syrup.
  • Combine the sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and syrup is at a gentle boil. Remove it from the heat, and allow it to cool..
  • Pull the chilled baking dish out of the freezer, and pour the coconut milk into the dish. You may need to whisk it to smooth out any lumps.
  • Whisk in the simple syrup, lime zest, lime juice and fresh coconut until well combined. Place the dish in the freezer, and let it chill for 1 hour.
  • Pull it out of the freezer, and using a fork, break up the ice crystals forming around the edge of the dish, by dragging them into the more molten center. Return to the freezer and repeat this process every hour or so, smoothing out the granita before you return it to the freezer. The whole process should take about 3 hours. When you're ready to serve, allow the granita to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes so that it softens. Spoon the mixture into a small bowl or glass, and top with a little coarse sea salt.

COCONUT WATER GRANITA



Coconut Water Granita image

Nothing cools you off faster than a granita, the Italian shaved-ice delight. This one, made with coconut water, is a real catch: it's uncommonly refreshing and stunningly simple to make.

Provided by Riley Wofford

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 4h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups coconut water, preferably raw, such as Harmless Harvest (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup superfine sugar
Sliced strawberries, for garnish
Toasted unsweetened coconut flakes, for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine coconut water and sugar in a 2-quart baking dish; stir to dissolve sugar. Freeze until solid, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month (covered if freezing longer than a day).
  • Using the tines of a fork, scrape surface to create ice crystals; transfer to serving bowls or glasses; top with strawberries and coconut flakes and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk adds a rich, creamy flavor to the granita. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best flavor.
  • Sweeten the granita to your taste: The amount of sugar in the granita is adjustable to your taste. If you like your granita sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet granita, reduce the amount of sugar.
  • Use a variety of fruits: You can use any type of fruit you like in the granita. Some popular choices include mango, pineapple, and berries. You can also use a combination of fruits.
  • Freeze the granita in a shallow dish: This will help the granita to freeze evenly and quickly.
  • Stir the granita every 30 minutes: This will help to prevent the granita from becoming icy.
  • Serve the granita immediately: Granita is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Coconut granita is a delicious and refreshing summer treat that's easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious granita that's perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a cool and refreshing treat, give coconut granita a try!
