Coffee Granita with Bailey’s Irish Cream
The dog days of summer are here and we’ve been searching for innovative ways to stay cool. Having always been fans of coffee granitas - especially those produced by the one of Rome’s most famous coffee bars, Tazza d’Oro - we decided to take things in our hands and invent upon the classic model.
We started with a liter of cold espresso (we’d made the espresso beforehand, adding sugar to taste while it was still hot) and mixed in a cup and a half or so of Bailey’s Irish Cream. We poured the mixture into a shallow dish and placed it in the freezer and then spent a pleasurable and refreshing afternoon opening the freezer to stir the mixture every half hour until the liquid freezes into ice crystals.
The result? Ice ice baby! We just can’t get enough!
