Rich Chocolate Sorbet (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Essentials

01 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
02 - 3/4 cup dark cocoa powder
03 - 1 cup granulated sugar, erythritol, or xylitol
04 - 2 1/3 cups water

→ Extra Flavors

05 - 1/4 teaspoon instant coffee or vanilla, peppermint extract
06 - 1 tablespoon vodka or your favorite liqueur
07 - 6 ounces chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate

# Instructions:

01 - If you're using an ice cream machine, get it ready based on the directions for your specific device. If not, you can follow a guide for making this frozen treat without one.
02 - In a medium-sized pot, heat half the water and sweetener over medium-high heat. Stir often until everything dissolves.
03 - Add the cocoa powder and salt to the pot. Bring it to a rolling boil while whisking nonstop for 30 seconds.
04 - Take the pot off the heat. Add your extras like chocolate or alcohol, if you'd like, then stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
05 - Blend in the rest of the water. Pop the mixture into the fridge or freezer until it's chilled.
06 - Pour the chilled mix into your ice cream machine. Let it churn based on the machine's instructions. You can enjoy it straight away or freeze it for a firmer scoop.

# Notes:

01 - To get an even firmer texture, freeze the sorbet for 30 more minutes after churning.
