Description
This recipe for chocolate granita has only four ingredients and is easy to mix and freeze. No ice cream maker is needed.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 60 g granulated sugar
- 35g (6 tablespoons) Cocoa powder
- 125ml Water
- 125ml milk
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat, stirring constantly.
- Once everything has melted, strain the chocolate mixture. If it feels hot to the touch, let it cool in the refrigerator for a while.
- Pour the chocolate mixture into a container that is suitable for freezing, and place it in the freezer.
- When it starts to harden, take it out of the freezer and stir it with a fork to scrape it off. Put it back in the freezer again, and when it hardens again, stir it with a fork and repeat several times. The more times you repeat the process, the finer the granita will be.
- Pour the granita into a glass and optionally add whipped cream on top. Enjoy!
Notes
Other Methods
- If repeatedly mixing with a fork feels tedious, an alternative method is to let it fully solidify first and then scrape it with a fork. However, I found that using this method initially resulted in a very hard block, making it quite difficult to scrape with a fork. Therefore, I recommend the approach of gradually mixing it while it's solidifying. This way, the process is ultimately easier.
- If you have a blender, you can let the chocolate mixture solidify in a container and then remove it from the container to blend it. Blend it until it reaches a liquid consistency similar to a frappuccino. Once blended, freeze it again, and it will turn into granita.
