Coffee Granita

  • I hope it's okay to post a recipe I got from a magazine--of course I did modify it slightly, so maybe that's okay.

    3 C strong coffee
    ½ C artificial sweetener equivalent (recipe originally called for sugar)
    ½ C cream
    Splash of hazelnut DaVinci syrup (if desired)

    Mix all ingredients and freeze in small ice cream freezer.

    (Okay, I changed the directions to make it simpler for me--now I'll tell you how THEY said to do it Mix coffee and sweetener together; pour into 9x9 pan and place in freezer for 1½ hours. Stir with fork to break apart, then place back into freezer for another hour. Stir with fork again. Top with whipped cream. To be perfectly honest, I tried this first and didn't like the way it was going so I transferred it to my ice cream freezer. Anyway, it's really good if you like coffee flavored drinks.
