    Coffee Granita with sweet Condensed MilkPin

    "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!

      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!
