Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh raspberries
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 250 milliliters Water
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa, finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Rinse the raspberries thoroughly under cold water and allow them to drain completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and water. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the cocoa is fully incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat. Stir in the finely chopped dark chocolate until melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
Using a blender or food processor, puree the raspberries until smooth.
Pass the raspberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds. Discard the seeds.
Stir the raspberry puree, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt into the cooled chocolate mixture until well combined.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding more sugar, a teaspoon at a time, whisking to dissolve.
Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly cold.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes, until thick and creamy.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop the sorbet into bowls or cones and garnish with fresh raspberries or shaved chocolate if desired.
