I am a big fan of Italian marvel ‘Affogato’. It is a treat of strong hot Espresso poured over cold Vanilla Ice Cream. This is my icy summer version of it. As I keep Espresso Granita in freezer, I can enjoy this treat anytime I want. Crunchy bitter Espresso Granita and melting sweet Ice Cream make a lovely combination.
