How to Make Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet

  1. Combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup heavy cream and 1 cup bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped).
  5. Once the cocoa mixture is cool, gently whisk it into the chocolate-cream mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until it's frozen and has a sorbet-like consistency.
  7. Alternatively, for a no-churn method: pour the mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Freeze for 2-3 hours, then remove and break the mixture into pieces. Process in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the sorbet to the freezer for at least another 2-3 hours to allow it to fully set and reach its desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately for the best experience.
