Dutch process cocoa is the secret to rich chocolate flavor in this recipe, which may be frozen and scooped like ice cream or enjoyed as a frosty spoon drink. Although it takes just minutes to make, start the recipe one or two days in advance to allow for freezing time.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (unsifted) unsweetened Dutch Process Cocoa

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup plus 1/4 cup water

4 teaspoons instant espresso powder or freeze dried instant coffee

2 cups low fat (2 percent) milk

Directions

  1. Combine cocoa and sugar in a medium saucepan. Whisk in 3/4 cup of the water, a little at a time. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir espresso powder and milk. Strain into a shallow pan. Freeze several hours until hard.
  2. Break the frozen mixture up with a fork and place the chunks in the bowl of a food processor. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of water and process until no lumps remain and the mixture is thick and slushy and lightened in color. Serve at once in goblets to be eaten with a spoon, or refreeze overnight and scoop like sherbet to serve.
