Instructions: Mix water, coffee, and sugar substitute in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in cocoa powder and syrup. Bring mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Remove from heat; pour mixture through a fine strainer into a large measuring cup. Refrigerate until cold.

Pour mixture into ice cube trays, filling only half way. Freeze until firm. Before serving, process chocolate cubes in a food processor until chopped and slushy. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Description: "The best part about granitas - the Italian version of ices - is they require no ice cream maker. Our mocha version is light and flavorful, the perfect finale to a rich meal."
