Baked Kale Chips




2 bunches kale
2 heaping tablespoon almond butter (or any savory nut butter)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (or substitute curry powder, we make them both ways)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Wash the kale and dry thoroughly with paper towels. Pull the leaves off the center ribs in large pieces, and pile on a baking sheet. Discard the ribs.
In a small bowl mix the nut butter, oil, spices, and salt. Pour over the kale. Use your hands to massage the kale leaves until each one is evenly coated with the spice mixture. You don't want any of the leaves to be drenched in the mixture, so take your time doing this. The more evenly the kale leaves are coated, the better they will bake.
Lay the kale leaves out flat on 3-4 full sized baking sheets (work in batches if necessary.) Do not overlap. Bake for 10-11 minutes until crisp, but still green. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving. If some kale chips are still a little flimsy or damp, remove the crisp chips and place the damp chips back in the oven for a few more minutes. Store in an air-tight container.

Cornbread coffee cake with fresh figs and walnut streusel


For the walnut streusel
2⁄3 cup chopped walnuts (or any nut you like, really)
2⁄3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1⁄2 cup rolled oats
1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
For the cornbread cake
1⁄2 cup (2 sticks) plus 2 tsp. room-temperature butter
3 cups figs, stems removed, divided
2⁄3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1⁄2 cups cornmeal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1⁄2 tsp. baking soda
1⁄2 tsp. salt
1 1⁄2 cups buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla paste or extract
1⁄2 cup sour cream
Whipped cream (optional)


Instructions

Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, toss together all the ingredients but the butter, taking care to distribute them all evenly. Add the butter and pinch together with your fingers until it forms a wet crumb.
Make the cake: Preheat your oven to 375° and butter a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with 2 teaspoons butter. Cut 1 cup of figs into eighths. Cut the remaining 2 cups in half lengthwise and set aside.
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together 1⁄2 cup butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure the first egg is fully incorporated before adding the second. From this point forward, make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl periodically with a spatula. Add the cornmeal, roughly 1⁄2 cup at a time, until it's just incorporated. In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another smaller bowl, whisk the buttermilk and vanilla. With the mixer on low, add the sifted flour and buttermilk alternately in three batches, ending with the flour. Using your spatula, fold in the sour cream and the cup of figs cut into eighths.
Spoon half the corn-cake mixture into the bottom of the skillet and spread it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top and finish with the remaining batter. Press the halved figs into the top, pink-flesh-side up, taking care not to cluster them together at the center. Bake uncovered, in the middle of your oven, for 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely and serve with whipped cream, if using.

1 cup sugar
3 tbsp flour
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
3 tbsp strawberry extract
about 20 drops red food color

Vanilla Bean Mousse
1 1/2 tsp powdered gelatin
1 1/2 tablespoons water
2 1/3 cups heavy cream, divided
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste

Whipped Vanilla Icing
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

To make the Chocolate Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Put all dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.
3. Add eggs, buttermilk and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
4. Add vanilla to boiling water and add to mixture.
5. Mix until smooth.
6. Pour into prepared 9 inch pan and bake 35-38 minutes.
7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes in pan, then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling.
8. Once cooled, cut off cake dome with a long serrated knife.

To make the Strawberry Cheesecake:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
2. In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar and flour. Use low speed to keep less air from getting into the batter.
3. Add the sour cream and 2 eggs. Beat until just combined.
4. Add other 2 eggs, strawberry extract and red color. Beat until combined.
5. Pour the filling into the pan. Drop onto the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
6. Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and prepare it for a water bath.
7. Place foil wrapped pan in a another pan large enough for a water bath. Fill water pan with warm water about half way up the sides of the springform pan.
8. Bake for 1 hour and 35 minutes.
9. Turn off heat and leave in oven with door closed for 20 minutes or until set. Center of cheesecake will not look fully cooked, but will continue to cook in the oven.
10. Open oven door halfway and let cool for about 10 minutes.
11. Refrigerate until firm 5-6 hours.
12. Remove cheesecake from springform pan.

To make the Vanilla Bean Mousse:
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water, let stand for about 5 minutes. Place mixer bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer for about 10 minutes.
2. Take bowl out and whisk out of freezer and whisk 2 cups heavy cream at high speed until it begins to thicken.
3. Add sugar and vanilla bean paste and continue whisking on high until stiff peaks form.
4. Heat remaining heavy cream in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until warm.
5. Add gelatin to heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow to cool.
6. Add gelatin mixture to whipped cream. Stir to incorporate and whip back to stiff peaks, if needed.

To begin putting it all together:
1. Prepare the same springform pan you used to make the cheesecake and cake. Put parchment paper on the bottom and around the edges, sticking up above the top edge of the pan.
2. Place the cheesecake into the cake pan.
3. Pour the vanilla bean mousse on top of the cheesecake and spread evenly.
4. Refrigerate until set, about 2 1/2 hours.

Once the mousse has set, make the Whipped Vanilla Icing:
1. Put mixing bowl and whisk attachment in freezer for about 10 minutes.
2. Remove bowl and whisk from freezer and whip cream on high until it begins to thicken.
3. Add vanilla extract and powdered sugar and whip on high until thick and creamy.

To finish off the cake:
1. Get cheesecake/mousse out of refrigerator.
2. Place chocolate cake on a cake board, or the plate you will serve it on.
3. Remove cheesecake and mousse layers from springform pan.
4. Spread a thin layer of icing on top of the chocolate cake. You can add a little cocoa to the icing for that layer if you don't want to see the white icing between the cake and cheesecake layer.
5. Place the cheesecake and mousse layers on top of the cake, using the cheesecake to lift it. The cheesecake should end up as the middle layer, with the cake on bottom and the mousse on top.
6. Ice the cake with the whipped icing.
7. Separate remaining icing into three bowls and color one brown with cocoa and one pink with food color. Pipe the three different colors onto the top of the cake in a pattern.
7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Chicken Riggies




1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces hot Italian ground sausage
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 onion, sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, roughly chopped
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano), crushed
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup water, or as needed
1 1/2 cups chopped hot and sweet peppers
1/2 cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
1 pound rigatoni
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano cheese

Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, mushrooms, onions, salt, and black pepper in hot oil until vegetables are softened and sausage is browned, 6 to 7 minutes.
Stir chopped chicken to sausage mixture; cook and stir over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in wine and cook, stirring to remove any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, until most of the wine is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream; simmer for 30 minutes. If needed, add water to create a thick sauce.
Stir peppers, olives, and garlic into sauce. Continue to simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in parsley.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until nearly cooked, about 11 minutes. Drain.
Combine sauce and cooked pasta, stir in cheese, cover and set aside until pasta has absorbed the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.

Hungry-Man Salisbury Steak




1 ½ lbs. 85% ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 eggs
¾ cup bread or cracker crumbs
2 cups sliced mushrooms
½ cup diced mushrooms
2 tbsp flour
16 oz beef or veal stock

First do all your prep. Dice the onions, clean and slice the mushrooms, dice the ½ cup of mushrooms. Prep the crumbs. Get out your eggs, flour and stock. Be ready to cook. Get out a medium mixing bowl for the meat mixture, a large sauté pan and a good size baking dish.
Put a large sauté pan on the stove over medium high heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil or butter. Add ¾ of the diced onion and the minced garlic. Give it a stir to get going then add the ½ cup of diced mushrooms. Cook until onion is translucent. Remove from heat and scrape contents into the mixing bowl. (Don’t rinse or clean the pan yet). Give it about 5 minutes to cool back to room temperature.
When cool, add the meat then add the eggs and crumbs. (I used cracker crumbs because I didn’t have any bread crumbs and I like the slightly different flavor the cracker crumbs give). Mix all this up really well. (I used a blend of 12 oz. ground round, 6 oz. ground chuck and 2 oz. pork sausage.) Form the meat into patties about ½ inch thick and about 6 oz. each (just eyeball it).
Now, put the pan back on the stove, turn the heat to medium-high and add 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Put the patties down in the pan and brown on each side (it’ll take 2-3 minutes per side). Remove and put the patties in a single layer in a baking dish.
OK, so the meat is ready. Now on to the gravy. (See what I mean, this is just a little bit involved, but it’s worth it!).
Add a bit of oil/butter to the pan you used to sauté the onions and mushrooms and brown the meat (about 3 tablespoons total). Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of flour into the oil and whisk it into a roux. This is a “quick roux” and will only take a couple of minutes to come together. Add the stock about a third at a time and keep whisking/stirring. Make sure there are no lumps. Add the rest of the mushrooms and simmer for 20-30 minutes until it thickens.
Preheat the oven to 375. This is when the kitchen is going to really start smelling great with the richness of the beef stock and the earthiness of the mushrooms.
Pour the gravy over the browned meat patties. Cover the dish with foil and put into the oven for about 45 minutes.
Now is the time to make a pot of mashed potatoes and start anticipating the goodness that’s going to come out of the oven.
When done, serve it up. Slather some of the gravy over the mashed potatoes and a bit more on the meat and enjoy.

Brie en Croute




1 sheet frozen puff pastry, pre-packaged
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (8-ounce) Brie cheese
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
Crackers and sliced apples for serving

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Defrost puff pastry for approximately 15 to 20 minutes and unfold.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Saute the pecans in the butter until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon and stir until pecans are coated well. *I like to scrape the skin off the top of the Brie with a knife before the next step. Place the pecan mixture on top of the Brie and sprinkle the brown sugar over the mixture. Lay the puff pastry out on a flat surface. Place the brie in the center of the pastry. Gather up the edges of the brie, pressing around the brie and gather at the top. You can use cooking twine to tie off the top but I just fold and pinch it together so it doesn't come open. Brush the beaten egg over top and side of Brie. You can sprinkle white sugar on it if you want. Place Brie on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes until pastry is golden brown.
Serve with crackers and fruit.

1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 pounds palacios dry chorizo
1 8-ounce can tomato paste
½ cup red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 cup Spanish onion, peeled and diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed and minced
1 cup morel mushrooms, washed and broken in half (optional)
4½ cups chicken stock (or water)
1/2 cup green garlic (or ramps, in season)
1 cup pearl onions, peeled

1/2 cup blanched English peas
1 bunch scallions, green and white part separated
1 pound chicken thighs, boneless skinless

Directions

1. To a paella pan or large sauté pan, add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add Spanish onions and sweat until soft about 4-5 minutes.

9. Finish with peas, scallion greens and/or any other seasonal vegetable on top. Cook for 5-8 more minutes or until the rice is plumping and cooked. Taste, and adjust with salt and pepper.

10. Keep on high heat, rotating the pan 45 degrees every 2 minutes to create an even crispy bottom called Socarrat, adding stock as needed to fully cook the rice.

11. Once cooked, let rest for 8-10 minutes. Garnish with olive oil.

Klondike Bars




Vanilla ice cream:

4 cups heavy cream, divided
2 cups whole milk
1 1/3 cups sugar
Generous pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of vanilla bean paste or 2 vanilla beans
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Chocolate shell:

1 cup bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup milk chocolate chopped (You can also go all bittersweet)
1 cup coconut oil

Line a 9×13 inch pan with one sheet of parchment paper and set aside.
Combine 2 cups of heavy cream with the sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Add the vanilla bean paste and heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 cups of cream, the milk and the vanilla extract. Stir well to combine. Cover and place the mixture in your refrigerator until well chilled; about an hour.
Remove the mixture from the refrigerator and freeze in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will most likely take two batches. When the first batch is ready, immediately pour the ice cream into your prepared pan and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Cover and place in the freezer while you make the second batch of ice cream. Once the second batch is ready, remove the pan from the freezer and pour over the first batch of ice cream. Smooth and even out with an offset spatula.
Cover tightly with saran wrap and place the pan in the freezer for about 4 hours or overnight to give the ice cream a chance to fully harden. When the ice cream has fully hardened, cut into 2 inch squares using a cutter. If you have a penchant for symmetry, you can cut 2 inch square with a knife. You should have about 15 squares, give or take. Return the cut squares to the freezer for about an hour. In the meantime prepare the chocolate shell.

Melt the chocolate over low heat in a medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir in the coconut oil and heat until the oil is completely dissolved into the chocolate, about 1-2 minutes. Bring the liquid to room temperature. The chocolate will not solidify due to the amount of oil mixed in.
In the meantime, line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper sprayed with a bit of cooking spray and place inside the freezer. We are going to work in two batches to prevent your bars from melting.

Ice-Cream Bar Assembly:

Pour your melted chocolate into a deep medium sized bowl. Remove the cookies sheets from the freezer and divide your cut squares in two and line them on the frozen cookie sheets. Place one cookie sheet in the freezer. We’re rolling with one cookie sheet at a time.
Working quickly, dip an ice cream square into the bowl of melted chocolate using a large fork or spoon. Make sure the square is completely submerged. Lift the dipped square from the melted chocolate and place on the cold cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining squares. When the squares from the first batch have been dipped, remove the second cookie sheet from the freezer and place the first sheet inside to chill. Repeat the process with the second batch of ice cream squares.
When all the squares (both batches) have been coated with chocolate, place them in the freezer to chill; about 25 minutes.
Remove the coated squares one sheet at a time from the freezer and repeat the dipping process. They must be dipped twice for a nice hard chocolate coating. When all the bars have been dipped twice, return them to the freezer for 20 more minutes. This makes about 15 coated bars.


Dairy Queen Buster Bars




8 plastic cups
8 popsicle sticks
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1/2 jar hot fudge topping
nut topping (1/4 cup?) or whole Spanish peanuts like a real Buster Bar has
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 Tbs. vegetable oil

Line up the plastic cups. Dip 1? or 1 1/2? of ice cream into the bottom of each cup. Tamp it down smooth with the end of the ice cream scoop. Add a dollop of hot fudge on top of the ice cream. Sprinkle with nut topping or peanuts. Scoop more ice cream over the fudge and peanuts, tamping it smooth with the ice cream scoop. Poke a stick in the center of each. Freeze for several hours.

Pour chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and give it another 30 seconds. Continue till melted. Allow it to cool a few minutes.

To remove the ice cream bars from the cups, give them a gentle squeeze. If they don’t release easily, run them under cool water for a few seconds. This should release them from the cups easily.

Dip the bars (a large yogurt container works well for this) or spread chocolate onto the ice cream bars. Place finished bars on waxed paper covered cookie sheet and put them back in the freezer.

Coldstone Founder's Favorite Summer Ice Cream




1 cup vanilla ice cream
1 brownie
1 tbsp hot fudge sauce
1 tbsp caramel sundae sauce
1 tbsp pecan halves, chopped
Optional: waffle cone bowl

Place ice cream on a silicone mat or cutting board (something non-slip).
Use two wooden spatulas to "smush" the ice cream. This softens it a little (without melting it) and prepares it for toppings.
Add the brownie, hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce, and pecans. Use the spatulas to mix the toppings into the ice cream.
Scrape the ice cream mixture into the serving bowl and enjoy immediately!

Notes

I used a homemade brownie, but feel free to buy store bought instead! You could even buy the pre-packaged brownie bites if you're only making one serving. Entenmann's is my favorite brand.

Outback Steakhouse Honey Wheat Bread




2 ½ cup warm water (100°-110°F)
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon Brown gel paste coloring
½ cup honey
2 Tablespoons molasses
3 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons active dry yeast
2-3 cups bread flour
corn meal (for dusting loaves)
parchment paper

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, stir together water, oil, coloring, honey and molasses until mixed well.
Add wheat flour to water mixture.
Add cocoa powder & salt, and stir until blended. Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap and allow mixture to sit for 20 minutes (this will give the flour time to absorb the liquids).
Stir in yeast, then add the bread flour, one cup at a time, until dough clings to hook and almost clears the sides of mixer, about 3-4 minutes.
Cover bowl with greased plastic wrap.
Allow dough to rise in the bowl until doubled, about 45-60 minutes.
Prepare 2 cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper, set aside. Divide dough into 4 pieces.
Cover each piece with greased plastic wrap, and let dough rest for 5 minutes.
On a prepared cookie sheet, shape 2 pieces of dough into 2 loaves, each approximately 9-10 inches long. Sprinkle with corn meal, and repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of dough.
Let dough rise until doubled, about 45-60 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake at for 40 minutes, rotating pans halfway through baking.
Transfer leaves to a wire rack to cool at least 1 hour before serving

Rozanek's Bakery St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

Rozanek's Bakery St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake

This recipe comes from Rozanek's Bakery, St. Louis, Missouri. This bakery has been in business for over 60 years . It's a St. Louis original and an acquired taste not shared by those in other parts of the country. Usually people in other cities said it looks like a mistake, a flat gooey mess. Well, of course, that's what it is and intensely rich.

Yield 1 9-inch square cake
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1⁄3 cup butter or 1⁄3 cup margarine
• 1 1⁄4 cups granulated sugar
• 3⁄4 cup butter or 3⁄4 cup margarine
• 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2⁄3 cup evaporated milk

1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour and 3 tablespoons sugar.
2. Cut in 1/3 cup butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs and starts to cling. Pat into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan.
3. For filling, in the mixing bowl, beat the 1 1/4 cups sugar and 3/4 cup butter or margarine until combined.
4. Beat in the corn syrup and egg until just combined.
5. Add the 1 cup flour and evaporated milk alternately to the mixing bowl, beating until just combined (batter will appear slightly curdled). Pour into crust-lined baking pan.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 35 minutes or until cake is nearly firm when you shake it. Let cool in pan on wire rack.
7. Remove to serving plate. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

Coffee Ice Cubes

Coffee Ice Cubes

Coffee ice cubes are the secret to a perfect homemade iced coffee.
There’s no other drink which we crave quite as much as a perfect iced coffee on a hot summer’s day. An iced coffee — whether it’s black, an iced latte, or a nitro cold brew — is almost always the first thing we sip on every morning throughout these summer months, and we continue to drink our way through many of these chilled, caffeinated, totally delicious beverages throughout the day.

To make coffee ice cubes, simply brew a batch of coffee, pour it into your ice cube tray, and freeze until solid. You need to plan ahead, but if you make multiple trays-worth at the same time, they’ll keep you going for a while. You may be skeptical about how life-changing these coffee ice cubes can be, but we just ask you to try them, and you’ll understand. Their power lies in their ability to multitask, simultaneously solving all your homemade iced coffee dilemmas. Add a few to your chilled coffee, instead of regular ice, and as they melt they’ll make your coffee stronger, not weaker, as well as cooling your drink down. They work just as well in a homemade iced latte as in a black coffee. You could even add them to cold chocolate milk to create a makeshift mocha. Please don’t blame us when you have no room in your freezer for anything but these delicious frozen cubes of energy.

Eating Ice Cream for Breakfast

Eating Ice Cream for Breakfast

Start your day the Italian way: with coffee granita and freshly whipped cream. Espresso granita is a classic Italian breakfast. The Italians are always ahead of the game when it comes to creating and enjoying the most spectacular foods. Start your day with an espresso granita topped with whipped cream, and you’ll be bouncing out the door, cooled, awake, and fueled with enough energy to keep you going for at least a couple of hours.

Recipe #1
• 2 Cups freshly brewed espresso
• 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 Cup heavy cream

• While the espresso is still hot, stir in the sugar. Chill in the fridge until completely cold. Once cold, pour into a large, wide baking dish and freeze for 1 hour. Remove the mixture, and scrape with two forks to break up the ice. Return to the freezer and freeze until solid, about 2-3 hours, scraping it with forks every 30 minutes.
• Whip the cream into soft peaks. Place one tablespoon of cream into a small glass. Scoop granita on top, and finish with a larger tablespoon of cream. Eat immediately.

Recipe #2
servings: 6
• 2 cups hot espresso or very strong coffee
• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
• Bittersweet chocolate shavings

• Stir espresso, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Pour into a 9x9x2" metal baking pan. Freeze for 1 hour. Stir, mashing any frozen parts with the back of a fork. Cover; freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Using a fork, scrape granita vigorously to form icy flakes. DO AHEAD Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover tightly with foil; keep frozen. Give it a quick scrape before serving.
• Beat cream and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in a large bowl until peaks form. Divide granita among bowls or glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
