Chocolate Sorbet

This is something that you can prepare and freeze for ‘a rainy day’. But, somehow, whenever I’ve made it, it’s disappeared before I could say ‘sorbet’. :P

You will need:

150 gms Dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
115 gms + for garnish Plain chocolate
1 cup Castor sugar

Preparation method:

1. Mix the dark and plain chocolate in a food processor and process for thirty to forty seconds till they are finely chopped

2. Combine castor sugar and two cups of water in a saucepan and cook on medium heat stirring continuously till sugar melts

3. Cook the sugar syrup for another two to three minutes and remove from heat

4. While its still warm, pour the sugar syrup over the chocolate with the foor processor till running

5. Continue to process (covered) for one or two minutes till the chocolate has melted and mixture is smooth

6. Strain the chocolate mixture into a large bowl and freeze in a refrigerator

7. Process this frozen mixture again in a food processor until smooth and freeze again

8. To serve allow the frozen mixture to soften for five to ten minutes and serve in scoops garnished with grated chocolate.
