Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 ounces Dark chocolate (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

Slowly pour in the boiling water while whisking continuously to create a smooth paste. Set aside to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract together.

Step 4

Combine the milk mixture with the cooled cocoa-water mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is well blended.

Step 5

Add the finely chopped dark chocolate to the mixture and stir until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is silky smooth.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe dish (like a baking pan). Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid.

Step 7

Place the dish in the freezer and allow it to chill for 45 minutes. Once the edges begin to freeze, use a fork or whisk to stir and break up the frozen sections.

Step 8

Repeat the stirring process every 30 minutes for the next 3–4 hours until the sherbet becomes thick and smooth with a uniform frozen texture.

Step 9

Once fully frozen, scoop the chocolate sherbet into serving bowls or cones. For best results, allow it to sit out for 5 minutes to soften slightly before serving.
