Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 475 ml Water
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened, high-quality)
- 115 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa solids)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth and starts to simmer. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the dark chocolate pieces. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the pinch of salt and pure vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until thoroughly chilled. For best results, chill overnight.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve the Chocolate Sorbet Dark and Dense in bowls or cones. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
