Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 ounces dark chocolate (70% cocoa, finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk together over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then remove it from the heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped dark chocolate to the warm cocoa mixture. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is glossy.

Step 4

Whisk in the ground cinnamon, cayenne pepper, vanilla extract, and sea salt.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into a shallow container and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

Step 6

Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 20-25 minutes, until it reaches a sorbet-like consistency.

Step 7

Transfer the sorbet to an airtight container and freeze for an additional 2-4 hours to firm up before serving.

Step 8

Serve the sorbet in bowls or cones, and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or chocolate shavings if desired.
