Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To make the ice cream: Whisk the egg yolks in a large stainless-steel bowl. Gradually whisk in the sugar and creme fraiche until smooth. Strain. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and proceed as directed.

  2. Step 2

    To make the granitas: Combine all ingredients for each granita in separate shallow pans, large enough so the mixture is no more than ¼ inch deep. Freeze and stir each mixture every 15 minutes for 40 minutes, or until it looks like shaved ice.

  3. Step 3

    Scoop the creme fraiche ice cream into four chilled bowls. Place equal amounts of both granita on each side. Serve immediately.
