  • 4 cups Strong Brewed Espresso
  • 1/2 cup Sugar

Instructions

  1. 1In a saucepan, combine the espresso and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. 2Pour the espresso mixture into a shallow dish (such as a baking pan).
  3. 3Place the dish in the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes to break up the ice crystals.
  4. 4While the granita is freezing, prepare the coconut cream: In a bowl, whisk together the coconut cream and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. 5To serve, spoon the espresso granita into glasses and top with a dollop of coconut cream. Garnish with chocolate shavings (if using).
