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!

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.
