Recipe adapted from
The Perfect Scoop
Technically the recipe below is a sherbet since there's milk, but it sounds more appealing to use the word
sorbet. So feel free to use either water or milk.
You can use either
Dutch-process or natural cocoa powder, using a brand that you like. (I like
Valrhona Dutch-process cocoa but any brand will do.) Since much of the flavor depends on the quality of the cocoa powder, use a top-quality brand that you like.
A little shot of coffee-flavored liqueur augments the taste and gives the sherbet a more scoop-able texture. Feel free to use another liqueur, or omit it. If you don’t have an ice cream maker, check out my post:

Note: This would likely work with non-dairy milk, but be sure to use one that can stand up to being boiled.
