This dairy-free, vegan Chocolate Sorbet recipe is made with only 2 ingredients! A rich yet healthy frozen dessert, it is one of my mother-in-law’s favorites, and she asks me to make it every time she comes to visit.
Chocolate Sorbet makes a great dairy-free dessert after a simple family meal. Because it’s so decadent, I often serve it at our summer parties.
Speaking of summer, it’s challenging to accept that today is my boys’ last day. They return to school tomorrow! Vacation flew by and is over far too soon. This summer is the first one that I was well enough to really keep up with the boys, and we had a fabulous time together.
We went to the pool, the reservoir, had some nice picnics, and spent time down by the creek. With more energy, grocery shopping became a fun expedition with them, rather than an exhausting outing. They are fabulous baggers. They also load up the car and take the groceries in when we get home. We have been quite the team this summer, they’ve even tested recipes for me, and we had an amazing time.

We need to flood HGTV recommending you to host a show on Gluten Free cooking. Your recipes are the best. Have been gluten-free for a couple of years, but am now off all processed foods meaning no rice flour products, etc. I am eating vegetables and selective proteins; no fruit, no diary, no sugar. Your recipes help keep me happy and satisfied. Please keep them coming. Love your Almond Flour Cookbook!

i just made a coconut chocolate ice ‘cream’ that was decadent and amazing- obviously it was a day to go back to rich chocolately favorites. hmmm. chocolate- making this would keep me from cheating on sugar and grains, both of which i have to give up again, but right now am craving something fierce. well, off of the sugar for over a year now, but the rice and corn i went back on for a while, but now have worn by body down and need to get off of them completely to recoup.
Elana says
Thanks Cassi!

I am concerned about the chocolate chips, because although I use agave, I don’t like eating sugar, and these chips have sugar in them. Can this recipe be made using the Organic Dagoba Cocoa Powder in place of the chips, and maybe adding a little more agave?
Alternately, is there a way to make chocolate chips with agave in them, using the Organic Dagoba Cocoa Powder and maybe some coconut oil and agave? I wonder how they’d turn out?
