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
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk frequently until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once cooled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions. This typically takes 20-25 minutes.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for at least another hour to firm up before serving.
Step 9
Scoop into bowls and enjoy your velvety chocolate sorbet!
