Chocolate Sorbet with Cinnamon and Vanilla Recipe

A lowfat frozen dessert that's richly chocolate? Of course. This one is delicately accented with cinnamon and vanilla. Cocoa powder not only give flavor without far, but nutrition; it's rich in magnesium and copper, both of which tend to be in low supply in the American food supply. It's almost a virtuous dessert!

 

We made it in an ice cream maker (Donvier makes a nice one), but you can make it without: Instead of the last step, just pour liquid into plastic ice cube trays. Freeze until hard, about three hours, then let stand at room temperature a few minutes. Process in the bowl of a food processor a few times, until it reaches the desired consistency.

 

Ingredients:

2 cups water

1/2 cup evaporated skim milk

1/3 cup light corn syrup

1/3 cup sugar

pinch of sugar

2 (3-inch) sticks cinnamon

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 ounces finely chopped unsweetened chocolate

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Method:

Combine water; skim milk, corn syrup, sugar, salt and cinnamon in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool completely. Remove cinnamon sticks.

 

Whisk in cocoa and chocolate; cook over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Let cool completely. Stir in vanilla.

 

Freeze sorbet in an ice cream maker.
