Things You'll Need:
-
Step 1
Mix the coffee, espresso and sugar together, preferably while the coffee's still hot.
-
Step 2
Taste the mixture. It should taste like extra-strong, extra-sweet coffee.
-
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and place it in the freezer, uncovered.
-
Step 4
Meanwhile, chill the cream well.
-
Step 5
As a film freezes on top of the container, break it up and stir it with a fork every 20 minutes or so. This step will create the granita's characteristic grainy texture.
-
Step 6
As the mixture freezes it will harden faster, so stir it more often to keep it from freezing too solid. The final texture should resemble chipped ice.
-
Step 7
Whip the cream until frothy but pourable - just before serving.
-
Step 8
Spoon the granita into small cups and top with dollops of the lightly whipped cream.
