Chocolate Sorbet from Chinet
Recipe by Chinet®
Yield servings
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and 1/4 cup of the water and cook over medium-high heat, undisturbed, until the sugar melts and begins to boil. Allow the sugar to cook, swirling occasionally, until the syrup reaches a deep golden caramel, about 5 minutes. Add the water carefully; the caramel will harden and steam vigorously. Cook over low heat until the caramel is dissolved. Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne and salt, and whisk until dissolved.
Transfer to a clean bowl and cool, stirring occasionally. When the mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla and transfer to the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.
Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least two hours before serving.
A delightful combination of colorful tropical fresh fruit and raspberries take homemade shortcakes beyond the usual strawberries. For an extra kick of tropical flavor, sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts.
