Pareve Chocolate Sorbet

"A sublime rich tasting creamy chocolate sorbet which is dairy free. I had it in a very expensive restaurant in Spain where it was served with a very intensively vanilla ice cream and it was to die for. In fact the whole meal was to die for - and we nearly did when the bill arrived!8"

  1. This is a wonderful treat. Very deep, intense chocolate flavor. I added 1/4 tsp of instant espresso powder and 1/4 tsp of ground cayenne pepper to jazz it up! It came out great and was very easy. I stirred every hour and a half or so and it came out smooth, creamy, and delicious.
     
  2. I am a chocolate snob and this has my five-star seal of approval. Of note, if you are like me and appreciate the depth of dark chocolate, I recommend using dark chocolate cocoa powder. But, I was such a skeptic that cocoa powder and these simple ingredients could make such a delicious treat and wow, were my husband's and my tastebuds more than exhilirated. Of course you have to keep in mind that this is not ice cream, so it will not have the same thick, creamy texture, so if that is what you're looking for than this is not the recipe for you. However, if you want a lighter, yet potently chocolatey dessert that will kick any female chocolate craving- this is a grand slam!!! Also of note, I have a very high-quality blender/food emulsifier that made this instantly by using ice cubes instead of water and it eliminated the long 4.5 hr freeze time. Thank you for this recipe.
     
  3. Oh. My. Goodness. I am speechless. Made it in my Cuisinart, added a couple teaspoons of instant coffee, and poured in a couple tablespoons of heavy cream as it started to blend. Next time I will sub some of the water with espresso instead of cheating with instant coffee. (Later Note: I tried this and it wasn't as good as just adding instant coffee! It changed the texture) This was a perfect end to homemade pasta and meatballs...and I tried it with coconut ice cream, too. Wow. Thank you for sharing.
     
  4. Intense is right! If this doesn't momentarily cure yoru chocolate cravings, nothing will. A thousand thank-you's for this one. I can see how this would complement a vanilla flavor or, as my intended use, with some wine and berries for Valentines day. A very elegant, sophisticated flavor that costs very little. A word of advice for dieters- I initially used strictly Splenda, which did not work at all, the Splenda taste was overpowering. However, I tried it again with 1/2 c. Splenda and 1/2 c. sugar and it turned out beautifully; just the right amount of everything. I also used the Hershey's Dark Cocoa powder and it was wonderful! I now offically have a reason to use my ice cream maker in the dead of winter!
     
  5. I used splenda instead of sugar, 15 packets. That drops the calories in this little confection to an amazing 30 per serving! This is definitely a keeper. It fixes my chocolate craving, with hardly any calories.
