Chocolate Orange Sorbet (with photo)

[quirkycooking]

1.  Grind on speed 9 for 30 seconds:
- 140g Rapadura (if you want to use raw sugar, only grind for 10 seconds)

2. Add and grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds, or until finely ground:
- peel of 1 navel orange (wash & dry orange first, then peel in the zest with a potato peeler, no white)

3. Add and grind on speed 9 for 15 seconds:
- 50g dark 70% cocoa chocolate (eg. Lindt)

4. Remove mixture to a bowl. (The mixture will become quite sticky and gooey - you need to scrape it into a bowl with the spatula and put the other ingredients in, then add it back on top, otherwise it freezes to the bottom of the bowl once the ice hits it.)

5. Add other ingredients into bowl, then top with chocolate mixture.  Grind on speed 9 for 1 to 2 minutes, until creamy, using the spatula to help push the ice into the blades:
- flesh of orange (cut off and discard the pith)
- 40g raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
- 1 large or two small egg whites
- ice cubes - fill to the 2 litre mark

Eat it quickly before it melts!  Or freeze for later.

Ruth - It was great, thanks for the recipe.

Meagan - Omg Jo this is delicious  Grin I used 20g of cocoa the woolworths pure one that has been discussed here it was yummoooooo. I posted on the RC too. I think it could be a delicious cocktail/ choc slushy if you added an orange liqueur to it.

Tasty - Just made it - love how it's so quick to make and nice and refreshing for a summer night like tonight. Only problem was I only had 2 trays of ice cubes so couldn't fill it to 2L mark so a bit runnier but I'm not complaining.

This sounds just like Jaffa sorbet. I'll wait for some warm weather and give it a try. We had Jaffa custard last night, plain custard with 50g Lindt Orange Intense melted through it.

So was it chocolatey enough with 20g of cocoa?  I must have a bad addiction to dark chocolate - I like it with 40g!!    Glad you liked it! 

[Meagan]

Yes it is chocolatey enough for me.

Hoping to try this tonight when hubby gets home from a meeting. Hope it doesn't wake the baby up!

Didn't even wake the baby with all that noise. Only problem was I only had 2 trays of ice cubes so couldn't fill it to 2L mark so a bit runnier but I'm not complaining
