The technique to make granitas is very simple and doesn’t even require a ice cream machine. Just place the juice (or coffee like in this recipe) in the freezer, and stir it repeatedly to break the ice in small crystals and prevent it from becoming solid. Coffee granita  is a very refreshing and elegant after dinner dessert, when is served in glasses out on a patio “al fresco”.
After about 15 minutes, when the coffee starts freezing stir the coffee to break the ice.

Prepare the espresso coffee, transfer to a bowl, dissolve the sugar in it and cool to room temperature. When the coffee is lukewarm transfer it to the freezer.
Repeat this step few times until the coffee mixture is slushy and broken in large crystals.
Place 1 or 2 tablespoons of whipped cream in the glass.
Whip the cream together with the vanilla and the powdered sugar.
Add on top 2 tablespoons of the granita.
Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream.
Decorate with the cherry and serve immediately.
