Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups water
- 2 ounces dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually whisk in the water until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is thoroughly chilled.
Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes, depending on the machine.
Once the sherbet reaches a soft-serve consistency, transfer it to an airtight container and freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
When ready to serve, allow the sherbet to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.
