Here are two recipes that I’ve been eating at home with my family since even before the warmer weather started to make me smile: a tiramisu semifreddo and a granita, the Sicilian iced slush (made from fresh fruit juice, nut milks or coffee) that is is the Slush Puppie’s distinguished aunt. The ultimate refreshers on a sunny day at any time of the year.
