• Ready In: 20 mins
• Yields: 1 pint

Ingredients

• 7  ounces bittersweet chocolate
• 1  cup sugar
• 2  cups water

Directions

1. Put all the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over low heat.
2. Cook stirring frequently, until the mixture has reached a boil-- this can take 10 minutes or so.
3. Then stir without stopping and PAY ATTENTION: this will bubble furiously!
4. Boil for 2 minutes, then pour the mixture into a bowl.
5. Set the bowl into an ice-water bath.
6. Allow the mixture to chill, stirring now and then.
7. Freeze the sorbet in your ice-cream maker, following instructions.
8. You can serve the sorbet directly, or pack it into an airtight container and freeze until needed.
9. Note: I never use an ice-cream maker, just put it into a Tupperware container suitable for the freezer, and scrape to serve.
