CHAMPAGNE-CASSIS GRANITA
We invite you to write your own
chapter of history at a place
Granita is simply a shaved ice, made
from a lightly sweetened fruit puree or
another liquid. Of all the frozen desserts,
granita is the simplest to make, requir-
ing nothing more than a dish, a freezer
and a fork. Forming fine-grained crystals
is the goal. Inspired by the classic Kir
Royale, this granita makes a similarly
elegant after-dinner dessert. Because
of the quantity of Champagne in this
recipe, it takes a bit longer to freeze than
other granitas. Since this granita may
melt rapidly, I suggest spooning it into
chilled goblets and letting them rest in
the freezer until you're ready to serve.

cup creme de cassis
(black currant liqueur)
In a medium, nonreactive saucepan, heat
the sugar and water until the sugar is
completely dissolved. Remove from the
heat and add the Champagne. Stir in the
creme de cassis.
To freeze: pour the mixture into a dish
(I recommend one with sides that are
about 2 inches high, to contain all the
crystals) place in the freezer. Begin check-
ing it after about 1 hour. Once it begins
to freeze around the edges, take a fork and
stir the mixture, breaking up the frozen
parts near the edges into smaller chunks
and raking them toward the center.
Return the dish to the freezer, then check
the mixture every 30 minutes afterward,
stirring each time and breaking up any
large chunks into small pieces with a fork,
until you have beautiful, fine crystals of
homemade granita. Makes about 1 quart.
