Rich Chocolate Sorbet

It took me a while to try out making chocolate sorbet.  I was hesitant because I sort of envisioned it to be like a chocolate slushy (sounds awful!) – but in reality, it ended up being super rich and creamy.  Plus, it is so much easier and faster to make than chocolate ice-cream.  If you love chocolate, please do yourself a favor and try this recipe out!

Makes 1 quart

Ingredients:    

• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• pinch of salt
• 6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips (approx. 1 cup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup coffee

Method:

1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk together 1 1/2 cups water, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.  Continue whisking until the mixture comes to a boil.
2. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips.  Stir until all of the chocolate is melted.
3. Add the remaining 1 cup of water, coffee, and vanilla extract.
4. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
5. Freeze the mixture in your ice cream maker, according to the manufacturer’s directions.
6. Serve immediately or transfer sorbet the freezer to harden further.
