Make a rich, deeply flavored dark chocolate sorbet that is completely dairy-free. This recipe focuses on high-quality cocoa for a refreshing, clean dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (high quality)
  • 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat.
  2. Whisk the cocoa powder into the sugar syrup until smooth.
  3. Add the chopped dark chocolate and salt to the warm mixture. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is uniform.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Chill the mixture completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until very cold.
  6. Churn the chilled mixture in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s directions for sorbet.
  7. Transfer the churned sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for 2 to 4 hours to firm up before serving.

Notes

  • Use the best quality unsweetened cocoa powder you can find; this is the main flavor component.
  • For the best texture, let the sorbet sit on the counter for 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
  • If you do not have an ice cream maker, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow pan, stirring vigorously every 30 minutes for the first 3 hours.
