Chocolate Granita

Give this icy refresher a try: Chocolate Granita, a chocolate treat served in Italy. 
Grazie Così Buono

Active Time: 20 minutes
Time to Freeze: additional 3 to 4 hours
Serves: 6

Ingredients
1 C brewed coffee (regular or decaffeinated)
1 C water
½ C sugar
1 ⅔ blocks (5 oz) American Heritage Chocolate blocks, finely chopped (or ¾ C AHC drink mix)

Directions

1.     In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coffee, water, and sugar. 
Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, whisk in the chocolate, and continue to whisk until melted, about one minute.
2.     Transfer mixture to a square glass or metal baking dish. Place on a level surface in freezer. After about 45 minutes, use a fork to begin to scrape the granita. Leave granita in freezer, scraping with a fork every 30 minutes until a fluffy, snow-like texture has formed, about 3 to 4 hours.  Once the entire granita has reached this consistency, it is ready to serve.
