Vietnamese Coffee Granita

I N G R E D I E N T S
2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups hot brewed, strong French Roast coffee
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk.

I N S T R U C T I O N S
Stir sugar and coffee until sugar has dissolved. Transfer to a 8 x 13" glass baking dish. Freeze at least 3 hours or up to 8 hours.

Before dinner, scrape frozen coffee into shavings using a fork.  When ready to serve spoon coffee shavings into serving dishes. Serve with condensed milk drizzled over top.
