Prepare Ahead

The dish can be made a few days in advance; the serving dishes should be frozen 1 hour before serving.

1

Set the freezer to its coldest setting and place freezerproof serving bowls or glasses in the freezer. Dissolve the sugar in 300ml (10fl oz) water in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Increase the heat and bring to the boil, then boil for 5 minutes to make a light syrup.
2

Pour the syrup into a shallow, freezerproof dish. Stir in the vanilla and coffee and set aside to cool completely.
3

Transfer to the freezer. Every 30 minutes or so, use a fork to break up the frozen chunks. Continue to do this for 4 hours, or until the mixture has the texture of shaved ice, then leave the granita in the freezer until ready to serve.
