Decadent Chocolate Sorbet is a rich and refreshing frozen dessert made with cocoa powder, sugar, and vanilla. This dairy-free sorbet combines deep chocolate flavor with a smooth, icy texture, perfect for a light yet indulgent treat on a warm day or as a palate cleanser.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sorbet Base

  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Make the simple syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine water and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar fully dissolves and the syrup is clear.
  2. Add cocoa and vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until completely smooth and fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance flavor.
  3. Chill the mixture: Transfer the cocoa mixture to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until thoroughly chilled. This step is crucial for a smooth sorbet texture.
  4. Churn the sorbet: Pour the chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it reaches a soft-serve consistency, usually around 20-25 minutes.
  5. Freeze until firm: Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 3-4 hours until firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
  • If you don’t have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a shallow dish and freeze, stirring every 30 minutes to break up ice crystals until firm.
  • Add espresso powder for an intensified chocolate taste if desired.
  • Serve garnished with fresh berries or mint for an elegant presentation.
