Pjs Coffee Granita Recipe Recipe For Hand Recipes

MOCHA GRANITA

Steps:

• Stir the coffee, milk, sugar and chocolate until well combined. Pour the mixture into a 8-by-8-by-2-inch glass baking dish. Freeze the granita until firm, stirring every 45 minutes, about 4 hours. Cover the baking dish and keep frozen. Before serving, scrape the surface of the granita with a fork until crystals form. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the granita and serve.
• Cook's Note: This granita can be prepared 3 days ahead.

COFFEE GRANITA

Steps:

• Combine coffee, sugar, and coffee liqueur in a bowl with a whisk until sugar dissolves.
• Pour mixture into an 8x12- or 9x13-inch dish. Freeze, uncovered, until it just starts to get slushy around the outside, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Take a fork and break the frozen pieces up, stirring into the liquid. Crush any large pieces with the back of the fork.
• Return to the freezer and repeat the process every 30 minutes until you've reached your desired consistency, about 4 to 5 times total.
• Serve immediately or return to the freezer and chill for 8 hours, or overnight, before serving for best results.

COFFEE GRANITA

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts. Pour mixture into 9 by 13-inch metal pan and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour. (Mixture should only come about 1/4-inch up the side of the pan.) Remove and use a dinner fork to scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan. Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 20 to 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours. Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to "dry" in freezer another half hour before serving. When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
• Scoop into goblets and top with barely sweetened whipped cream, add additional citrus zest if desired.

Remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir any of the ice that has formed. Return to the freezer for another 2 hours and repeat. The granita is now ready to serve with a dollop of lightly sweetened cream or drowned in a 1/2 ounce shot of limoncello.

• Combine the coffee, sugar, coffee liqueur and vanilla and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 1 hour, until the mixture starts to become slushy around the edges. Rake the mixture with a dinner fork to break up the crystals and place the pan back in the freezer. Every 30 minutes, rake the mixture, until it is completely frozen and granular throughout. Wrap well and keep frozen for a few hours, until ready to serve.
