I love this recipe! I usually use my leftover coffee of the day instead of water. Have also used half water, half coconut or almond milk. And orange extract or almond sometimes. For really rich treat, throw in chunks of dark chocolate souffle cake, a few nuts, & who ever needs Ben & Jerry's superfudge chunk again?
Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet
The deep chocolate flavor and rich consistency belie this dessert's low-fat status. Freeze the sorbet up to two days in advance; let stand at room temperature 15 minutes to soften a bit before scooping.
