Icy Espresso Granita for Summer.

This is better than the ice cream, and it's lighter!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups strong coffee, warmed up
• 1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar
• some whipped cream or use the light whipped topping to save 50 calories
• 1/2 cup shaved dark chocolate (I like 75% and above)

Directions:

1. Add the sugar into coffee and stir to  dissolve it. Pour the mixture into a shallow metal baking pan, about one inch deep, and place in freezer.
2. After 18 to 20 min when the mixture just starts to freeze, Take out and use a fork to scrape and turn the ice. Break up the ice when you scrape can make the texture and mouthfeel fine and smoother. Repeat freeze and scrape/turn every 30 min until it's frozen through.
3. To serve, use a tall glass or wine glass. Layer a scoop of the granita ice with whipped cream and some chocolate shavings and repeat a second time for another set of granita, cream, chocolate layers.
4. Enjoy.

Note:

Whip your own fresh cream isn't hard at all. It tastes better and it is healthier than that from a can.
