Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet

Mirj's Note:

This is a sublime chocolate dessert that is very refreshing, very good after a heavy meal.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 pint

• 7 ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups water

Directions:

1. Put all the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over low heat.
2. Cook stirring frequently, until the mixture has reached a boil-- this can take 10 minutes or so.
3. Then stir without stopping and PAY ATTENTION: this will bubble furiously!
4. Boil for 2 minutes, then pour the mixture into a bowl.
5. Set the bowl into an ice-water bath.
6. Allow the mixture to chill, stirring now and then.
7. Freeze the sorbet in your ice-cream maker, following instructions.
8. You can serve the sorbet directly, or pack it into an airtight container and freeze until needed.
9. Note: I never use an ice-cream maker, just put it into a Tupperware container suitable for the freezer, and scrape to serve.

Sad to say this did not work for me. I followed the recipe carefully and used lovely chocolate, finished it in my ice cream maker. The result was overly sweet and grainy.
