Piña Colada Granita Recipes

PIñA COLADA GRANITA

Steps:

• In a blender, place the first 3 ingredients and process until smooth and the sugar dissolves.
• Add this mixture to a metal pan plus the coconut milk and cream of coconut. Stir with a whisk.
• Place in the freezer and after 30 minutes, break up the crystals that have formed. Using the tines of a fork, rake & stir the mixture every 30 minutes, scraping edges and breaking up any chunks as the mixture freezes, until granita is slushy and frozen, about 4 hours.
• When is ready to serve, rake a fork through the granita one last time, add your toppings, and enjoy!

FRESH PINA COLADAS

Steps:

• Remove the flesh from 1 brown coconut, reserving the water (see Cook's Note). Peel off the skin and cut the flesh into small pieces. Transfer to a blender and add the reserved coconut water; puree until almost smooth. Bring the coconut mixture and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan, then remove from the heat and let stand 30 minutes; strain through a fine-mesh sieve and chill. For each drink, shake 1/4 cup of the mixture with 1/3 cup pineapple juice and 2 tablespoons spiced rum in a shaker with ice. Strain into an ice-filled glass.
