    Expert Tips

    • Use high quality cocoa powder. Using high quality unsweetened cocoa powder will ensure that your sorbet has the best possible chocolate flavor.
    • Dissolve the sweetener completely. It's important to dissolve the monk fruit sweetener completely in the water before adding the cocoa powder and vanilla extract. This will ensure that the sweetener is evenly distributed and that the sorbet has a smooth, creamy texture.
    • Chill the mixture thoroughly. Before churning the mixture in an ice cream maker or freezing it in a shallow dish, make sure that it is thoroughly chilled. This will help to prevent the sorbet from becoming too soft and will ensure that it has a smooth and creamy texture.
    • Add mix-ins. You can add a variety of mix-ins to this sorbet to customize it to your taste. Consider adding chopped nuts, berries, or other fruit to add texture and flavor.

    Variations

    • Mint: Add a teaspoon of peppermint extract to the mixture before freezing to create a mint chocolate sorbet.
    • Mocha: Mix in a tablespoon of instant coffee powder with the cocoa powder for a mocha twist on the classic chocolate sorbet.
    • Nutella: Add a couple of tablespoons of hazelnut spread to the mixture before churning to create a Nutella-flavored sorbet.
    • Rocky road: Mix in chopped nuts and mini marshmallows to the sorbet mixture before freezing for a rocky road variation.
    • Peanut butter: Mix in a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the mixture before freezing for a peanut butter chocolate sorbet.
    • Strawberry: Mix in blended fresh strawberries to the mixture before churning for a fruity twist on the classic chocolate sorbet.

    Storing

    Store the sorbet in a freezer safe airtight container for up to a month in the freezer.

    Recipe FAQ's

    Can I use regular sugar instead of monk fruit sweetener?

    Yes, you can use regular sugar instead of monk fruit sweetener. Keep in mind that the sorbet will no longer be sugar free, but it will still be a delicious treat.

    Can I use an alternative to an ice cream maker?

    Yes, you can freeze the mixture in a shallow dish and stir it every 30 minutes or so until it is frozen solid. This will help to prevent the sorbet from becoming too icy and will ensure that it has a smooth and creamy texture.
