Dark Chocolate & Orange Granita
Serves 10
Granitas are super easy, and orange juice gives dark chocolate (high in cancerfighting flavonones) a sweet, citrusy accent.
Ingredients
¾ cup organic evaporated cane juice sugar
2 cups water
1 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon grated orange peel, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup cocoa powder
2 ounces 60 percent or 70 percent dark chocolate, finely chopped
Directions
Boil sugar, water, and juice until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients, until melted. Pour into a 9 x 2" baking dish, cover with foil, and freeze. Over several hours, push solids toward center of pan until it reaches a slushy consistency. Serve in parfait glasses.
