Ingredients
Granita:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups brewed (strong) coffee, cooled
1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur, such as Tia Maria
Affogato:
1 pint vanilla ice cream
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
One 4-ounce piece semisweet chocolate
1 1/2 to 2 cups unsweetened whipped cream
Directions
- For the granita: In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup water and add the sugar. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sugar dissolves, then transfer to a bowl to cool. Stir in the coffee and coffee liqueur. Pour into a 9-inch square metal baking dish and place flat in the freezer to freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
- For the affogato: Spoon the ice cream into bowls and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with a little brown sugar. Shave some chocolate over the ice cream. Remove the granita from the freezer and scrape the surface with the tines of a fork to make large flakes. Top the ice cream with an even layer of granita. Top with an even layer of whipped cream. Shave more chocolate over the whipped cream.
