Several people bemoaned the fact that the gelato article in the July issue didn't contain a chocolate recipe. Well, I was browsing recipes on Martha Stewart's web site and lo and behold -- a chocolate sorbet recipe that is 3 grams of fat per half cup!! Yay! I think it will be the first thing I try when my ice cream maker finally arrives.

2 1/2 cup water
3/4 cup dark brown sugar -- packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate -- finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon espresso coffee -- instant (powder)

Combine 2 1/2 cups water, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook, whisking occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 4 or 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; boil gently for 3 minutes

Meanwhile, set a medium bowl in an ice-water bath. Remove syrup from heat, and add chocolate, vanilla, and espresso powder; whisk until chocolate is melted and well incorporated. Pour mixture into the bowl over the ice-water bath, and stir occasionally until well chilled. Transfer to an ice-cream maker, and freeze according to manufacturer’s instructions.

I actually eat Haagen-Dazs chocolatae sorbet, and I have eaten a half pint of it every single day of my life for over 2 years now! I have tried making my own, but I can't seem to get the taste or texture as good as Haagen Dazs. It is made only with cocoa and is fat-free, but it tastes great! Perhaps I should try this recipe. I can't tolerate dairy or most fruit so I'm often limited in choices.

I finally got around to making this and it is really yummy. But it is very very chocolaty, so I wouldn't make it unless you are a chocoholic like me! :p

Thanks Laura. I don't have any of the ingredients right now but will put it on my list of "to try". I have been having so much fun making gelato with my Cuisinart. Hope you are enjoying yours.
