Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3.5 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water and granulated sugar. Place the pan over medium heat and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and free of lumps. Continue to heat the mixture until it comes to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender and blend for a minute to ensure it’s well mixed and smooth.
Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it come to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 2 hours.
Once the mixture is cold, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the sorbet is thick and smooth.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight, before serving.
