Ingredients

Instructions

  • Prepare the base: Add water, cocoa powder, organic cane sugar, and salt to a medium saucepan. Whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, remove from heat and whisk in chocolate chips until melted. Add vanilla extract, almond extract, and vodka (optional). Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Chill and freeze: Remove bowl from the refrigerator and whisk mixture to reintegrate. Fill an ice cube tray with chilled the chocolate mixture. Place ice cube tray in the freezer for 5-6 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare for blending: Transfer chocolate cubes to the bowl of a food processor. You may need to allow cubes to soften for 5 minutes before running the food processor. Process the cubes starting on low speed and eventually running on high speed, stopping when needed to wipe down sides. Process until smooth.
  • Freeze the sorbet: Transfer sorbet to an airtight container and store in the freezer. It may need to be chilled in the freezer prior to serving if consistency is softer than desired.
  • To serve: Allow the sorbet to soften at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. Top with freeze-dried strawberries or sea salt if desired.

Notes

*Vodka helps prevents iciness. Omit if desired. If not using, pull sorbet out of freezer for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow to soften.
To store: Store in an airtight glass or plastic container. It is best eaten within one to two weeks to avoid ice crystals from forming.
