Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder, water, granulated sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture consistently. Allow it to come to a gentle simmer while continually stirring.
Once the mixture reaches a simmer, continue to cook for about 2 minutes. Ensure all ingredients are well incorporated and the sugar is dissolved completely.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the chocolate mixture to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the cooled mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely chilled.
Once the mixture is thoroughly chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, generally about 20-25 minutes, until the sorbet is smooth and set.
Transfer the sorbet into a freezer-friendly, airtight container and let it freeze for an additional hour for a firmer consistency.
Serve the chocolate sorbet and enjoy!
