Preparation

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.
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.
Step 3
Scoop the creme fraiche ice cream into four chilled bowls. Place equal amounts of both granita on each side. Serve immediately.
