Serves 8

4 cups strong hot coffee
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons Kahlua liqueur
2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chopped chocolate for garnish

Dissolve sugar in hot coffee and cool.  Add Kahlua liqueur, pour into a shallow pan; cover and freeze.  

Use a fork or large spoon to scrape and loosen the frozen granita to a fluffy slush consistency; cover and return to freeze.

Ten minutes before serving, scrape again to a fluffy slush consistency.  Whip the cream and vanilla together to soft peaks.  Fill chilled stemmed glasses halfway with granita then add whipped cream; continue filling each glass ending with whipped cream.  Sprinkle tops of coffee granita with chocolate and serve immediately with chilled ice tea spoons.

Wine recommendation: Moscato D'Asti
