Time 1h39m

Yield about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups water, plus 2 cups water
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
8 1/2 ounces extra-bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 cups washed and sliced kumquats

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups water and the sugar and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the cocoa powder, whisking until smooth. Cook the mixture at a gentle simmer for 30 minutes, until syrupy.
  • Put the chocolate in a large bowl and add half the cocoa syrup, whisking until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Add the remaining syrup and 2 cups water and whisk well. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve and let cool.
  • Chill the sorbet mixture, covered, until very cold, at least 4 hours, and up to 2 days. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Serve with Candied Kumquats.
  • Serving Suggestions: Candied Kumquats, recipe follows.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Add the kumquats, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 6 minutes, or until the kumquats appear translucent. Drain well before serving. The kumquats will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.
  • Yield: about 2 cups

I'm not sure I would call this sorbet "extra bittersweet." It's more like regular bittersweet chocolate to me.

I would recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest adding a little bit of honey to balance out the bitterness.

Amazing flavor! The bitterness of the chocolate and the freshness of the lemon pair perfectly together.

The sorbet machine I used didn't churn the mixture long enough, so my sorbet ended up being a bit icy. Other than that, the recipe is great.

I'm not sure how this is supposed to taste. I followed the recipe exactly, but my sorbet ended up being really bland.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sorbet was a bit too icy. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if that's just the way it's supposed to be.
