This icy treat is the perfect way to end a leisurely summer meal or to refresh yourself on a hot afternoon.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
8 cups freshly brewed espresso or coffee
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Dash of vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Add 2 cups sugar to espresso or coffee while it is hot. Stir to dissolve, and let cool to room temperature.
  • Choose a metal or freezerproof glass pan that will fit easily into your freezer (a 9-by-12-by-3-inch pan works well). Pour cooled espresso into pan and place in freezer.
  • When edges begin to freeze, after about 30 minutes, stir with a fork and replace in freezer. Stir again about every half hour until large crystals begin to form and mixture is more solid than liquid; then stir more frequently, about every 15 minutes. The total freezing time will be anywhere from 2 to 6 hours, depending on your freezer. Finished granita should resemble shaved ice, with no liquid visible on the bottom.
  • Whip cream with vanilla and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. Layer granita with the cream in chilled glasses and serve immediately.
