GRANITA
WHIPPED CREAM TOPPING
Granita:
Smooth sugar and cocoa in a saucepan; slowly pour in water, beating until smooth.
Bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Pour into an 8 or 9" baking pan. Place in freezer; freeze until mixture is firm but not solidly frozen. Break up icy chunks with a fork. Return to the freezer. Freeze at least three hours, until frozen.
Whipped Cream Topping:
At serving time, in a cold bowl, with cold beaters, combine the cream, creme de cacao, and sugar. Beat on high until the cream forms soft peaks. Let the granita stand at room temperature 5 minutes, then break up with a fork. Spoon chunks into stemmed glasses. Top with whipped cream and garnish with cinnamon and orange peel, if desired.
