Coffee Granita with Sweet Condensed Milk (Granizado de Café con Lechera)
Simple coffee granita drizzled with sweet condensed milk recipe.
This is a delicious after meal dessert or snack during the warm months. "Copitos de Nieve, granizados or raspaos" (Sno-Cones) topped with sweet condensed milk are a popular Colombian street food all year round.
In Italy this dessert is known as granita and it's basically a frozen treat made with simple ingredients. I have the best memories from high school around this treat. So, I created my adult version made with coffee and topped with sweet condensed milk.
This is the perfect ending to any summer meal!
