DARK CHOCOLATE MINT SORBET



Dark Chocolate Mint Sorbet image

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.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

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.

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.

GRAPEFRUIT-MINT SORBET TASTY! NO ICE CREAM MAKER NEEDED!



Grapefruit-Mint Sorbet Tasty! No Ice Cream Maker Needed! image

This is one of the best refreshing tasty sorbets. Excellent when served between courses. NOTE: This is an adopted recipe and Wikipedia says: "Sorbet (or sorbetto, sorbeto) is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and other ingredients. The term "sherbet" is derived from the Turkish word for "sorbet", serbat which in turn comes from Arabic. Sorbet is a form of gelato that contains no milk, unlike ice cream. Sorbets may contain alcohol (which lowers the freezing temperature, resulting in a softer sorbet). Unlike ice cream, the machinery used whips almost no air into the sorbet, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows sorbet to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste" so I have put this into the ZWT REGION: Middle East.
