Frozen treats are our favorite. Popsicles, ice cream, slushies, Italian ice — it’s all so good. There’s nothing like a sticky sweet cherry juice dripping down your arm in the summer sun! But if you don’t have any popsicles on hand, then you might have to improvise. Thankfully, queen of the kitchen Martha Stewart just came through with the most amazing dessert hack we’ve ever seen. If you and the kids are melting on a hot day, you just need one ingredient — literally, just one!! — to make a sweet, frozen treat.
“For a cool and refreshing summer treat, try making a Coca-Cola granita!” Stewart wrote on Instagram this week. It has similar vibes to a root beer float, but you don’t need ice cream — just a bottle of coke will do the trick!

All you have to do is pour about 1 liter of Coca-Cola in a square glass pan and pop it in the freezer. Once it’s frozen, fluff it up with a fork and pour it into a cup to enjoy. To make it even tastier, Martha adds a dollop of whipped cream. But if you don’t have that, just the frozen coke slushie is delightful as it is!
Who knew you could make a tasty summer dessert with just one ingredient? In the comments, people had mixed feelings about this treat.
“Martha I love you, but that’s a slushy 😂,” one person wrote. (But what’s wrong with a slushie?) Another joked, “Recession indicator af 😓 we got some tough time ahead.”
Someone else had a fabulous idea if you are making this for adults: “Then you add a little rum 🤪” Yes!
“Who needs 7/11 when you have Martha Stewart!!” another person quipped. Sure, 7/11 Slurpees are good, but this is cheaper if you are making them for a bunch of kids — and you don’t have to leave the house to get it!
We love complicated desserts as much as the next guy, but sometimes simple is just better. We guarantee the whole family will enjoy this sweet summer treat!
