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.

I’ve made this twice, with honey and Kal stevia and cocoa powder, since that’s what I had. Last night using a wisk I kept in the pan I just stuck in the freezer( I wisked it every 20 min or so, allowing some of the mix to get on the sides of the pan, making it freeze faster), and today using my ice cream maker, after I went to the store to get salt. :) We really enjoyed this so much. Simple, so easy and tasty. win with the whole family.

HI Elana,
Love your website. What’s so special about a VitaMixer? What if I don’t havve one, does a blender or food processor work? Thanks for what you are putting out there.
Elana says
Hi Ilyse! The Vitamix is a high powered blender that pulverizes ingredients until they are incredibly smooth. I don’t think that a regular blender or food processor would create the results needed for this recipe :-)

I have been making meals and desserts, etc. from your blog over the past few weeks and I have received SO many compliments on how amazing my food is! :) I have referred pretty much everyone I know to come check you out! I also added you to my blogroll on my site. Thank you for providing so much variety and flavor in your foods. From a fellow paleo-girl, I’m really grateful. :)

This was AMAZING! and so easy too. Hands down the best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had… wasn’t expecting that. I only made one batch and it went so fast with people coming back for seconds!
Elana says
Gwen, thanks for letting me that this is AMAZING!
Jill says
This looks AMAZING as always!! and thank you to those who posted the chocolate chip/less sugar alternative. I always think about that!! and the coconut oil with agave and coca powder really does harden well so that’s a wonderful idea!!
Elana says
Thanks Jill!

Mary Kay says
I make this yesterday and I don’t have an ice cream maker so I just froze it, stirring every few hours. It is so good and chocolatey. I can’t wait to try it with an ice cream maker to get the softer texture.
