Instructions:
To begin preparing this refreshing Coffee Granita with Whipped Cream, start by brewing 250 ml of strong espresso coffee. Allow the coffee to cool completely. Once cooled, add the granulated sugar into a mixing bowl and whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Gradually pour in the room-temperature water while continuing to whisk the mixture. The goal is to dissolve the sugar completely and create a smooth syrup.
Next, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model, usually churning the mixture for about 30-40 minutes until it achieves a slushy, granita-like consistency. Once done, the coffee granita will be ready.
While the granita is freezing, prepare the whipped cream. In a separate bowl, pour the cold heavy cream and add the powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks.
Once both components are ready, it’s time to assemble. Spoon the coffee granita into two glasses (each with a capacity of about 200 grams). Finally, pipe a generous amount of freshly whipped cream on top of the granita using a pastry bag.
Your delightful Coffee Granita with Whipped Cream is now ready to enjoy, offering a perfect balance of sweet, cold coffee and smooth, velvety cream—ideal for a refreshing treat!
Tip: You can adjust the sweetness of the whipped cream by adding more or less powdered sugar, depending on your preference.
