How to Make Rich Dark Chocolate Sorbet

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 cup of water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and add 8 ounces (225g) of finely chopped dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher).
  5. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Let the chocolate mixture cool completely to room temperature. This is crucial for proper freezing.
  7. Pour the cooled mixture into your ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions until frozen. Alternatively, pour into a freezer-safe container.
  8. If freezing manually, freeze for 45 minutes. Then, remove and whisk vigorously with a fork to break up ice crystals. Repeat this process three more times (every 45 minutes).
  9. Once fully frozen (at least 6 hours), let the sorbet sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before scooping to allow for easy serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh raspberries for a delightful contrast in texture and flavor. Enjoy!
