Frozen Coffee Granita
"This is a must if you are a coffee lover. If you planning to make a double recipe make in two separate pans. You can make this a day ahead and keep covered in the freezer, just defrost slighty and scrape with a fork to loosen. Cooking time is freezing time."

I mixed the frozen granita with some Lite Cool Whip and Hershey's Chocolate syrup. Mmmmmmm sooooo good!!! Kept me wide awake throughout the rest of the day. -
The technique for this was quite good and it had a nice texture but I found it very sweet and I only used 1/2 cup sugar. People with a real sweet tooth might enjoy it more but I found it overwhelming. I can see how it would be a nice end to a summer meal, but the sugar might need some adjusting.
