Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), finely chopped
- 2.5 cups water
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt to combine.
Slowly add the water, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped dark chocolate until fully melted and the mixture is glossy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. For faster cooling, transfer the mixture to a heat-safe container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours until chilled completely.
Once the sorbet base is cold, churn it in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This typically takes 20-30 minutes.
Once the sorbet is the consistency of soft-serve ice cream, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2-3 hours to allow it to firm up.
Scoop and serve the chocolate sorbet as a decadent dessert. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of shaved chocolate.
