GRANITA DI CAFFE CON PANNA (ITALIAN COFFEE GRANITA)
You are sure to see people enjoying coffee granita if you visit Sicily during the summer months. Here's the recipe so you can make it at home. It's very easy to do but requires a lot of freezing so best to prepare in advance. It's usually served with whipped cream both at the bottom and on top of the glass, alongside a sweet brioche roll. You can store in the freezer for a few days, just make sure to stir well before serving.

- Pour the coffee into a jug and stir in the sugar until it has dissolved. Add the coffee liqueur and leave to cool completely.
- Once cold, pour the mixture into a freezable container and put in the freezer for 1 hr. Mix it with a fork - you should start to see ice crystals forming at the edges. Return to the freezer for 20 mins then stir again. Repeat once or twice more until the granita is all clumps of ice.
- Serve in glasses or bowls as an elegant dessert. For a more indulgent version, add a dollop of mascarpone and a grating of dark chocolate.

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.

ALMOND-MILK GRANITA (GRANITA DI MANDORLE)
At Caffè Sicilia, this granita is served for breakfast along with a brioche and a shot of espresso-a wonderful way to start the day. Unlike most other granitas, it has an almost creamy texture. (The Caffè Sicilia almond paste, though pricey, is worth it: Incredibly moist and possessing a delicate floral quality, it tastes so pure that we actually eat it by the spoonful.)

Steps:
- Blend together almond paste, sugar, and 1 1/2 cups water in a blender until smooth, foamy, and white. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into an 8-inch square baking pan, reserving any solids in sieve. Add remaining 1/2 cup water to solids in sieve and whisk over baking pan until most of water passes through (do not press on solids).
- Stir mixture, then freeze, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every 30 minutes, until firm but not frozen hard, 2 to 3 hours. Scrape with a fork to lighten texture, crushing any lumps.
COFFEE GRANITA
I'm showing you how to make this incredibly refreshing Italian treat. I'm not saying that a coffee granita is the best frozen dessert ever, and I'm not saying this is the best coffee dessert ever, but this might be the best frozen coffee dessert ever. The technique could not be any easier. Serve in a clear glass garnished with sweetened whipped cream and a pinch of cocoa.
