In a medium saucepan, combine the cocoa powder, stevia sweetener, and salt.
Gradually pour in the water while whisking, ensuring all dry ingredients are thoroughly dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to fully develop the flavors.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature, then transfer it to a shallow container suitable for freezing.
Cover the container and place it in the freezer for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, take the sorbet out of the freezer and stir it to break up any forming ice crystals.
Return the sorbet to the freezer, and every 30 minutes, stir it to help keep the texture smooth. Continue this process for about 3 hours or until the sorbet is firm.
When ready to serve, let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make scooping easier.
