Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while whisking continuously to create a smooth paste. Set aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract together.
Combine the milk mixture with the cooled cocoa-water mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well blended.
Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the mixture and stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is silky smooth.
Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish (like a baking pan). Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.
Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to chill for 45 minutes. Once the edges begin to freeze, use a fork or whisk to stir and break up the frozen sections.
Repeat the stirring process every 30 minutes for the next 3–4 hours until the sherbet becomes thick and smooth with a uniform frozen texture.
Once fully frozen, scoop the chocolate sherbet into serving bowls or cones. For best results, allow it to sit out for 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
