Sinful Chocolate Granita Recipe
Shaziya
This Sinful Chocolate Granita is a dreamy, icy treat that combines rich cocoa with a refreshing, granular texture. With just 10 minutes of prep and a quick 5-minute cook time, it’s surprisingly simple to whip up.
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
Freeze for 4 minutes mins
- 2 cups water 16 fl oz/480 ml
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder 3 oz/85 g
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar 5 oz/142 g
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, cocoa powder, salt, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until the cocoa powder has dissolved and the sugar has melted--about 3 minutes.
Transfer to an 8 or 9-inch metal cake pan and let it cool to room temperature.
Freeze for 45 to 60 minutes, until the edges are starting to form ice crystals.
Using a fork, scrape the crystals into the center and freeze for another 45 minutes.
Repeat this process 2 to 3 more times, freezing, then scraping the crystals into the center, until the mixture is fully frozen into ice shards.
Once finished, scoop into dishes to serve or keep it covered in the freezer for up to 1 week. Have it on its own or with an optional topping of whipped cream or fruit.
