Indulgent chocolate mousse with a refreshing twist.
Ingredients:
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) water
  • 155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthways
  • 500ml (2 cups) freshly brewed espresso coffee, cooled
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Kahlua liqueur
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 2.50 gm cocoa powder
Instructions:
  • Combine water, sugar, and vanilla bean in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes until syrup slightly thickens. Remove and reserve the vanilla bean.
  • - Pour the syrup into a 20 x 30cm shallow metal cake pan and let it cool completely. - Stir in the coffee and freeze for 1 hour until icy around the edges. - Use a fork to break up the mixture into coarse crystals. - Return to the freezer and scrape with a fork every 20 minutes for 40 more minutes.
  • Combine Kahlua, water, sugar, and the reserved vanilla bean in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-10 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. Let it cool before using.
  • Whisk the cream in a bowl until soft peaks form, then sift in the cocoa powder and gently fold to create a marbled effect.
  • Spoon granita into serving glasses. Add a dollop of the creamy mixture on top and drizzle with the Kahlúa syrup.
