This treat is decadently rich, but also cool and refreshing. It is vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free---great for people with allergies! I recommend making it a day ahead to allow enough chilling time. "Cooking time" is chilling time. Recipe from local cooking show, "Jayni's Kitchen."

DARK CHOCOLATE MINT SORBET

When I dream about the decade-plus I spent living in Paris, there's often a dessert involved. Specifically, it's the luxurious chocolate mint sorbet that I used to order every time I splurged on one of my favorite restaurants, the Michelin-starred Au Trou Gascon. It has the thrill and depth of any dark chocolate dessert, but with a light, refreshing quality. This is my version, and it couldn't be simpler.

Time 15h45m

Yield 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, or corn syrup
1/3 cup, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
10 ounces dark chocolate, at least 72 percent, finely chopped (about 1/4-inch pieces; no need to chop if using disks)
1 mint herbal tea bag
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Steps:

  • Combine 3 1/4 cups water, the honey or corn syrup and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir with a rubber spatula until sugar is completely dissolved and remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, place chocolate and tea bag in a medium-size bowl. Pour on hot water mixture and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove tea bag. Add peppermint extract.
  • Using a hand blender, blend mixture until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure mixture is well combined, and blend again if necessary. The chocolate will separate to an extent when chilled, but you will be blending it again. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Place a 1-quart container (or slightly larger) in the freezer.
  • Remove sorbet mixture from refrigerator and blend again until smooth. The chocolate that has slightly solidified on top will be reincorporated. Freeze in an ice cream maker following manufacturer's directions. Transfer to the chilled container. Cover and place in freezer for 2 hours or longer. Allow sorbet to soften in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate. This will ensure that your sorbet has a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the mint. It's what gives this sorbet its signature flavor.
  • Chill your ingredients thoroughly before churning. This will help the sorbet freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the sorbet in a frozen bowl. This will also help it freeze more quickly and smoothly.
  • Serve the sorbet immediately, or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve, let it soften for a few minutes at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Dark chocolate mint sorbet is a delicious and refreshing treat. It's perfect for any occasion, and it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
