Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped, around 70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture continuously until it comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves completely, about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically about 20-25 minutes.
After churning, transfer the sorbet to a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 2-4 hours to allow the sorbet to firm up.
When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly, then scoop and enjoy!
