Chocolate Sorbet
Sorbet has the same consistency as ice cream but without the fat and is so much easier to make than chocolate ice cream.
This recipe for chocolate sorbet is the perfect low fat dessert for any occasion.
I would recommend using a really good dark chocolate and cocoa powder for this sorbet so that the flavours stand out and you get a good strong chocolate taste.
This chocolate sorbet has 221 calories per portion so it’s fantastic when you fancy something chocolaty and are counting the calories.
Make in advance, this chocolate Sorbet needs to be chilled overnight
