Chocolate Sorbet and a Giveaway

by 41 Comments

Even though we still have few months before we can start enjoying the warm temperatures of Summer, I decided to jump ahead and pull out my ice cream maker to make this ever so tempting chocolate sorbet. I just couldn’t resist. 
If you know me, you know about my chocolate obsession. For me, when it comes to  picking a flavor, my choice is always the same, chocolate. I wanted to create a healthier chocolate sorbet recipe without sacrificing the flavor. Well, isn’t that always the challenge? This one contains water, cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla extract, cardamom and a very good quality chocolate, Valrhona  to be precise. 
Despite not using milk or eggs in this recipe, this came out creamy.  Really creamy. Even after resting overnight in the freezer, this heavenly treat was not hard to scoop out. The deep chocolate flavor really comes through in each spoon you put in your mouth, leaving a trail of cardamom behind.

And to keep up with my Summer spirit, I’m giving away one sizzle platter and two sizzle pans from the grill king himself, Bobby Flay courtesy of Kohl’s. No need to wait until the snow melts away when you can be grilling right over your stove top with his indoor grilling collection.

  8. Your blog is absolutely beautiful! I found it a few weeks ago and have since looked at every single post and even made a few things.
    My favorite summer vegetable (even thought I'm not sure it's technically a veggie) would definitely have to be squash. Any kind of squash. I love it grilled and in stir fry and even in enchiladas and tamales.

  9. I can't wait to try this. I recently made Jeni's Splended Ice Cream's Salted Caramel Ice Cream and while delicious, it is not the best for you. 🙂

    My favorite summer veggie is a ripe heirloom tomato. If that doesn't count as a veggie, then I love fresh green beans.
