GRANITA DI CAFFE CON PANNA (ITALIAN COFFEE GRANITA)
You are sure to see people enjoying coffee granita if you visit Sicily during the summer months. Here's the recipe so you can make it at home. It's very easy to do but requires a lot of freezing so best to prepare in advance. It's usually served with whipped cream both at the bottom and on top of the glass, alongside a sweet brioche roll. You can store in the freezer for a few days, just make sure to stir well before serving.

Steps:
- Stir together coffee and sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved, then stir in vanilla. Pour into an 8-inch metal baking pan (1-quart capacity) and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes, until slushy, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir vigorously with a fork until slightly smoother and more uniform in texture, 30 seconds. Freeze until firm enough to scoop, about 30 minutes more.
- Divide granita among serving dishes and top with whipped cream.

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 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.
