Chocolate Raspberry Sorbet

My favorite truffle is raspberry cream covered in dark chocolate. Oh my word. Indulgingly delightful. And when I saw a recipe for bittersweet chocolate-cherry sorbet in a magazine recently, my mind went straight to raspberry, then those truffles, and then to my new ice cream maker that’s calling out to be used.

The next day I was eating this amazing Chocolate Raspberry Sorbet, and my tastebuds were very, very pleased with me. My teeth wished I would have strained out the raspberry seeds before freezing, but I guess that’s the good thing for you. You get to benefit from my mistakes.

If you’re wishing I would have stuck with the chocolate-cherry combo, just substitute cherry jam for the raspberry preserves, one to one. What an easy recipe with pine results.
