Ingredients
For the granita:

Method:
Pour the coffee into a shallow container, stir in the sugar, olive oil and salt until dissolved, then place in the freezer. After 2 hours, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up the ice crystals, then return to the freezer and repeat every hour until the granita is light and fluffy. Whip the cream with the orange zest, honey and vanilla until soft peaks form. To serve, spoon the granita into glasses, top with a dollop of orange cream and finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
