    Coffee GranitaPin

    Hi guys! Can you believe that it's June already? It's true what people say about time, it moves faster as you get older...and this year is really moving! Hot days are on the way and I want to share a simple and easy dessert to make this summer.

    "Copitos de Nieve or Raspaos" (Sno-cones) topped with sweet condensed milk are a popular Colombian street food all year round. 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!

    Enjoy it!

      I know this is delicious because we have something similar here! We use shaved ice and add sweet corns, red beans and other stuff into it and add evaporated milk and sugar syrup instead...delicious!

      The colder the dessert the better right now, and I love granita! The coffee flavor sounds great with the sweetened condensed milk topping.

      We made this last night for a dinner with some friends along with fried sweet plantains, shrimp with parsley and cilantro sauce and arepas with the shredded flank steak. It was a FEAST! And we all loved it and finished off the entire dessert. Thank you for a delicious dinner.

      What a fun dessert! The only thing we did with condensed milk at home was pour it into Nescafé and this sounds a lot better!
