Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and water until smooth and fully combined. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is slightly warm but not boiling.
  2. Add Vanilla: Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  3. Cool the Mixture: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a container suitable for freezing.
  4. Freeze: Place the container in the freezer. Every 30 to 45 minutes, stir vigorously with a fork or whisk to break up ice crystals and create a smooth texture. Repeat this process for about 3 to 4 hours until the sorbet is firm and scoopable.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use an ice cream maker if available.
  • You can adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar according to taste.
  • Store leftover sorbet in an airtight container to prevent ice buildup.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free and vegan dessert, this recipe is an excellent choice.
