Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 ml Brewed strong coffee
- 150 g Granulated sugar
- 30 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 g Dark chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 15 ml Vodka or coffee liqueur (optional, for a softer texture)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk the mixture until the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Do not bring the mixture to a boil.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the chopped dark chocolate. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and vodka or coffee liqueur, if using. The alcohol helps keep the sorbet soft, but it is optional.
Pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
Once the mixture is chilled, pour it into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should typically take about 20-25 minutes.
Transfer the churned sorbet into an airtight container. Press a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming.
Freeze the sorbet for at least 2-3 hours to firm up before serving.
Scoop into bowls or cones and enjoy your homemade mocha java sorbet!
