Coffee Granite Recipe - Cooking Index
Granite is coarse, crystalline ice, made without egg whites or milk products. It is made without an ice cream maker. Since granite has a low sugar content, compared to ice cream, it freezes quickly. History of ice cream: Before the freezer, Italians used to send runners to the mountains to get snow. They would flavor the snow with honey or fruit to make iced desserts.
