Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 475 ml Water
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 75 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, and add the finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. To speed up cooling, transfer the mixture to a large bowl and place it over an ice bath, stirring occasionally.
Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe dish. Freeze, stirring every 30 minutes with a fork to break up crystals, for about 3-4 hours.
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least another hour to firm up before serving.
Scoop into bowls and enjoy your velvety chocolate sorbet!
