Roasted Cherries With Cocoa-Mocha Granita

• Cherries:
• 12 ounces (about 2 cups) sweet cherries, pitted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons kirsch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Granita:
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups hot coffee
• 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1. Place a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350u0b0F. Mist a 9-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray. Stir cherries, 2 Tbsp. sugar, kirsch and juice in baking dish to combine. Roast until bubbly and juices have thickened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.
2. Mix cocoa and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Whisk in coffee until sugar and cocoa have dissolved. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in milk and extracts; pour into another 9-inch square baking dish. Freeze until completely frozen, about 1 hour, scraping frozen crystals from edge of pan with a fork every 15 minutes.
3. When ready to serve, scrape granita into chilled glasses, breaking up any large pieces with a fork. Top with cherries.
