Mocha Granita

About

This simple but tasty Keto dessert is made with just 4 ingredients found in most pantries. Our low carb granita is prepared with water, coffee granules, cocoa powder and low carb sweetener. Once combined, the mixture is cooled then frozen before being churned into a refreshing low carb treat. Perfect for summer days and to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Can I Use a Different Sweetener?

We have used granulated erythritol to sweeten our low carb dessert. The sweetener is added to a hot mocha mixture to dissolve before being set frozen. If preferred, you may use an alternative low carb sweetener, adjusting the quantities as desired to suit your tastes. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Serving Suggestions

This Keto-friendly dessert is low in carbs but high in flavor. The dessert may be served on its own or with additional toppings if desired. If you would like to add some extra sweetness, you can top the granita with freshly sliced strawberries. Alternatively, for a healthy helping of fats, you can add a topping of whipped heavy cream.

Ingredients

2 cup water
2 teaspoon coffee
1 tablespoon cocoa powder dry unsweetened
⅓ cup erythritol

Instructions

Add the water to a small saucepan along with the coffee granules, cocoa powder and erythritol. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring to melt the coffee, cocoa powder and erythritol. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Pour the mocha mixture into a shallow, freezer-proof tray. Transfer to the freezer for 40 minutes until ice crystals begin to form. Churn the semi-frozen mixture up with a fork, breaking the ice apart, and freeze for a further 20 minutes.
Remove from the freezer and churn the ice up again. Return to the freezer for a final 20 minutes. Roughly crush the mixture and divide between individual serving bowls or glasses. Add toppings if desired.
