Ingredients

1 1/4 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups water
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine the sugar and 1/4 cup of the water and cook over medium-high heat, undisturbed, until the sugar melts and begins to boil. Allow the sugar to cook, swirling occasionally, until the syrup reaches a deep golden caramel, about 5 minutes. Add the water carefully; the caramel will harden and steam vigorously. Cook over low heat until the caramel is dissolved. Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne and salt and whisk until dissolved. Transfer to a clean bowl and cool, stirring occasionally. When the mixture has cooled, stir in the vanilla and transfer to the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled.

Freeze in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for at least two hours before serving.

too spicy!!!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

way, way too spicy. i followed the recipe exactly and was very disappointed with the outcome. the cayenne pepper drives the... taste, in fact you can't even tell that it is supposed to be chocolate sorbet! i will try again, next time with just a pinch of the pepper. i love chocolate and i love spice, unfortunately it is barely edible and i will be throwing away this batch of sorbet.Read more
