Rich Maple Chocolate Sorbet

Ingredients (4 servings.)

• 2 1/4 C water
• 1/2 C maple syrup
• 3/4 C unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 7 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

Method

1. In a saucepan, combine 1 1/2 C water, maple syrup, cocoa, and salt, and bring this mixture to a boil.
2. Once it boils, remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips, vanilla, and the remainder of the water.
3. Blend this mixture in a blender.
4. Freeze the mixture overnight. If you prefer pudding, freeze for only a few hours.

One warning, though: this recipe is for lovers of dark chocolate. It’s definitely decadent, so if you’re into lighter desserts, you might want to experiment with the amount of semi-sweet chocolate you use. Alternatively, you could just serve it up with some fresh berries.
