Steps:
- In a bowl, stir together the coffee, sugar, vanilla and salt until the sugar dissolves. Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape any of the ice that has formed.
- Return to the freezer for another 2 hours, then repeat the scraping. If the granita is still not frozen, return to the freezer again and repeat the scraping. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top or drowned with 1/2 ounce of limoncello.
COFFEE GRANITA
I think Jeremy Vincent's recipe's are just wonderful, and this one does not disappoint. Everyone just loved this cooling desert on a very hot summers evening. Use coffee that you would love to drink. Because this recipe is so simple, that will be your main flavour: I am posting as written with Jeremy's suggested variations from the "Weekly Times" -- This recipe uses strong espresso coffee as the flavouring ingredient and water to dissolve the sugar. You can make your granita even stronger by substituting more coffee for the water component. The vanilla can be swapped for nearly any flavouring you like with coffee. Try using a tablespoon of Kahlua, orange zest, or even cocoa powder. The chocolate will give your ice a cloudier colour, but the flavour is great.

Steps:
- Method: Heat the sugar and a cup of water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Dissolve the sugar, stir in the coffee; cool. (The cooler the liquid is before the freezing process begins, the quicker the granita will form its ice crystals). Pour the chilled liquid into a 20cm-square baking dish; freeze. Stir the mixture every 20-30 minutes as crystals form. (See Basic Tips below). Spoon into glasses. Top with whipped cream and chocolate-covered coffee beans, if using.
- GRAPEFRUIT AND CAMPARI GRANITA.
- Blend 2 cups of freshly squeezed Ruby Red grapefruit juice, half a cup of Campari, half a cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste. Pour into a baking dish, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer. Using the tines of a fork, stir the mixture every 30 minutes, scraping edges and breaking up any ice chunks as the mixture freezes, until granita is slushy and frozen, about 3 hours. Scoop into chilled serving glasses.
- GRANITA BASIC STEPS
- Heat up the water and sugar until the sugar has completely dissolved. This will make a syrup for your base that will give you a great finished texture. If the recipe calls for caster sugar, you may just be able to stir it into hot tap water to dissolve. If you are looking to get even more creative, try infusing your simple syrup with other flavours that will complement your granita recipe.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add any other ingredients that your granita recipe calls for. Refrigerate the liquid until it is completely cold.
- Pour the granita liquid into a shallow baking dish and place in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. At this point, ice will just begin to form around the edge of the dish.
- Use a fork to scrape the ice back into the centre of the dish. Make sure to get all the ice off the bottom of the dish as well. Return the granita to the freezer.
- Continue to scrape the dish every 20 minutes or so. Use the prongs of the fork to scrape any ice off the dish and the side of the fork to break up any larger chunks that have formed.
- Continue scraping the granita off the sides of the pan until it is completely frozen and has the consistency of coarse sand or shaved ice. Return the pan to the freezer, uncovered, for 20 to 30 minutes. You want the granita to be dry on the surface and lose any slushiness in texture before it is served.

COFFEE GRANITA (WITH SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM)
Steps:
- Combine the coffee, sugar, coffee liqueur, and vanilla and stir until the sugar dissolves. Pour the mixture in a flat pan that's about 9 by 13-inches. Place the pan in the freezer for one hour, until it starts to become slushy around the edges. Rake the mixture with a large fork to break up the crystals and place it back into the freezer. Every 30 minutes, rake the mixture until it is completely frozen and granular throughout. Freeze until ready to serve.
- Spoon the granite into pretty stemmed glasses and top with a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
- Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms stiff peak.

COFFEE GRANITA
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar melts. Pour mixture into 9 by 13-inch metal pan and place on level shelf in freezer for half an hour. (Mixture should only come about 1/4-inch up the side of the pan.) Remove and use a dinner fork to scrape any ice crystals that have formed on the side or bottom of the pan. Return to freezer and repeat scraping every 20 to 30 minutes for 3 to 4 hours. Once mixture is thoroughly frozen, fluff with a fork and allow flakes to "dry" in freezer another half hour before serving. When served, the granita should look like a fluffy pile of dry brown crystals.
- Scoop into goblets and top with barely sweetened whipped cream, add additional citrus zest if desired.

COFFEE GRANITA
I should call this lazy granita as the use of the food processor makes this simple and less labor intensive than the typical process of watching the freezing ice and regularly breaking it up. This is a delightful summer treat that satisifies the need for an evening sweet. Cooking time is freezing time.

Steps:
- Add splenda and any desired flavorings into coffee. Pour into ice cube trays until mostly frozen - about 60 to 90 minutes. There may be a little liquid at the bottom of the cubes. That's fine.
- Put ice cubes in food processor and pulse until you have slush with no visible chunks.
- Place slush in a covered bowl back in the freezer for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
- If you are freezing 30-90 minutes, remove bowl from freezer and scrape the slushy ice into serving cups.
- If you are freezing much longer, you may want to return the granita to the food processor for a quick whirl before serving.

COFFEE GRANITA A LA ORANGE
A granita is, essentially, an Italian ice, coffee flavored, in this particular case. On the richness scale, it's on the opposite end of the spectrum from ice cream since it contains no eggs or cream. A bit of sugar, yes, but in modest proportion. The method for making a granita is decidedly low tech: you simply stir the liquid periodically as it freezes, resulting in the granita's granular texture; the word, by the way, comes from the Italian grana, meaning grainy. I like to serve this as is, in small chilled bowls or cups, but it is frequently served with a dab of lightly sweetened whipped cream. Put a plate of biscotti on the table, fresh hot coffee too, and you have the perfect dessert.

Steps:
- In a medium-size bowl, stir the hot coffee, sugar, and orange zest until the sugar dissolves.
- Cool.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- Transfer the liquid to a shallow bottomed bowl or square metal cake pan and place in the freezer.
- Wait about 30 to 40 minutes, until the sides start to freeze, then stir the mixture gently with a wooden spoon, especially around the edges.
- Put the granita back in the freezer and repeat the stirring every 20 to 30 minutes, until the mixture is grainy-frozen.
- Transfer to well-chilled bowls - the chilled bowls are important, especially in summer, to prevent it from melting; in fact, chill your spoons too.
- Serve, garnished with whipped cream if desired.
