This Chocolate Sorbet comes from The Ultimate Ice Cream Book by Bruce Weinstein (great book). It's so simple and so decadent tasting, I don't know why I don't make it ALL THE TIME!!!
3 ingredients...that's it. It's dairy-free, gluten-free, fat-free, but more importantly....IT'S GOOD!!!
Chocolate Sorbet
(adapted from The Ultimate Ice Cream Book)
2 c. water
1 c. sugar
1 c. dutch-process cocoa powder
Combine the water and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Whisk in the cocoa and continue whisking until the mixture comes to a simmer. Simmer for 3 minutes, whisking constantly.
Remove from heat and strain into a bowl. Let cool several minutes on the counter, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill at least 2 hours or overnight.
Stir the mixture and add to your ice cream machine, following the manufacturer's instructions. Remove and place in a freezer safe container; press plastic wrap down onto the top to prevent freezer-burn. Let harden a few hours. ENJOY! :)
A few more ice cream recipes to cool you off this summer:
Oh, this looks so good!!! The color reminds me of an Oreo, and I LOVE Oreos!!! Can't wait to give it a try with my brand new ice cream maker!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me happy. I'm running out to the store to buy cocoa asap!
ReplyDeleteYum! I might make this tomorrow! I need some chocolate!
ReplyDeleteYum! This looks great!
ReplyDeleteSounds super tasty! Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteOkay, that really does sound simple. Time to dust off the ice cream machine that's buried somewhere in my cupboards!
ReplyDeleteThis is so dark and rich looking I was tempted to think it might be squid ink ice cream. Imagine! But that ingredient list is ridiculous! My kids could put that together. In fact, maybe they will!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I found you on TasteSpotting and am writing to say that if you have any photos that aren’t accepted there, I’d love to publish them. Visit my new site (below), it’s a lot of fun! I hope you will consider it.
Best,

That looks amazing... and I was just looking for a dairy-free, gluten-free recipe to have for dessert when my mother-in-law comes in two weeks -- this is it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYUM!! This looks so good!!
ReplyDeleteWow that looks good!
ReplyDeleteoooh, thanks! We need a new recipe for the ice cream machine! and you can't get more simple than this!!
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find dutch-process cocoa powder? do they sell it at the grocery store? or can I just use the Hershey's cocoa?
~TidyMom
TidyMom...look for it right with the regular cocoa. Your grocery store should have it. Hershey's labels theirs as "Special Dark" now...you really have to look at the package to see if it's "dutched." Yes, regular would work just perfect. That's actually what the original recipe calls for. :)
ReplyDeleteum, this sounds like the best thing EVER!! making this tonight!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even had a second cup of coffee this morning and I've already made this ice cream! Perfect! My in-laws are coming to stay for 2 weeks and my FIL was just told he's to lay off the dairy. I've been freaking out trying to figure out what to feed the man, at least now I've got a dessert! Thank you for the recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that looks heavenly!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome- definately gonna have to try this in the kitchen!! the texture looks amazing considering the few ingredients in it!! thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI admit that I have never made a sorbet, but it looks delish especially since it is chocolate! :D

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh this looks so good!! I have been craving ice cream so badly every since i had to go dairy free for my baby!! I think I'll go home and get right on this! :)
ReplyDeleteDo you really have to let it sit in the refidgerator over night???
WOW, that is the darkest chocolate sorbet or ice cream I've ever seen!
