Granita Affogato Recipe

We’re mashing up two Italian treats—affogato and granita—into a post-dinner coffee and dessert in one! Granita is semi-frozen Sicilian ice (think Italian snow cone) commonly made with fruit flavors, but we’re all about a base of cold brew concentrate, honey, and a dash of cinnamon. Granita is pretty hands-off once it goes into the freezer but don’t let the simplicity fool you—it’s guaranteed to impress your guests, especially when you pour a non-dairy creamer over the top!
