Cooking Instructions

1. Make the coffee and while it is still hot, dissolve the tbsp or more of sugar in it. When the coffee is cold, pour it into ice-cube trays, filling them to a depth no more than 1/2 inch.

2. When the coffee has frozen into cubes, and you are ready to serve, take the bowl out of the freezer, put in the cream and the 2 teaspoons sugar, and whip it with a whisk until it becomes stiff.

3. Unmold the coffee cubes and put them in the food processor bowl. Run the metal blade, turning it on and off 4 or 5 times, until the frozen cubes have been ground to fine crystals, granita. Put the granita into individual glass bowls or stemware, top with the whipped cream, and serve at once.
