DARK CHOCOLATE-MINT SORBET
This treat is decadently rich, but also cool and refreshing. It is vegan, dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free---great for people with allergies! I recommend making it a day ahead to allow enough chilling time. "Cooking time" is chilling time. Recipe from local cooking show, "Jayni's Kitchen."

DARK CHOCOLATE MINT SORBET
When I dream about the decade-plus I spent living in Paris, there's often a dessert involved. Specifically, it's the luxurious chocolate mint sorbet that I used to order every time I splurged on one of my favorite restaurants, the Michelin-starred Au Trou Gascon. It has the thrill and depth of any dark chocolate dessert, but with a light, refreshing quality. This is my version, and it couldn't be simpler.

Steps:
- Combine 3 1/4 cups water, the honey or corn syrup and the sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir with a rubber spatula until sugar is completely dissolved and remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate and tea bag in a medium-size bowl. Pour on hot water mixture and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove tea bag. Add peppermint extract.
- Using a hand blender, blend mixture until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure mixture is well combined, and blend again if necessary. The chocolate will separate to an extent when chilled, but you will be blending it again. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 12 hours. Place a 1-quart container (or slightly larger) in the freezer.
- Remove sorbet mixture from refrigerator and blend again until smooth. The chocolate that has slightly solidified on top will be reincorporated. Freeze in an ice cream maker following manufacturer's directions. Transfer to the chilled container. Cover and place in freezer for 2 hours or longer. Allow sorbet to soften in refrigerator for 1 hour before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate. This will give your sorbet a rich, decadent flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Use fresh mint leaves. This will give your sorbet a bright, refreshing flavor. If you can't find fresh mint leaves, you can use dried mint leaves, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Chill your ingredients before making the sorbet. This will help the sorbet freeze faster and smoother.
- Use an ice cream maker with a freezing bowl. This is the best way to get a smooth, creamy sorbet.
- Don't over churn the sorbet. Over churning will make the sorbet icy and grainy.
- Serve the sorbet immediately or store it in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Dark chocolate mint sorbet is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, try making this dark chocolate mint sorbet. You won't be disappointed!
