Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk together over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove it from the heat.
Add the chopped dark chocolate to the warm cocoa mixture. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is glossy.
Whisk in the ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Pour the mixture into a shallow container and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.
Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones, and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or chocolate shavings if desired.
