Recipe Introduction

Note: the splenda and cocoa powder are not on plan ingredients, so this dessert could slow your weight loss -- recommend using it during living lean rather than weight reduction phase of program.

List of Ingredients

1 cup splenda (original calls for sugar)
2/3 cup Cocoa powder
1 1/2 cup Water
1 tsp Vanilla extract
2 tbl Brandy -- or liquor - opt


Recipe

* Combine splenda and cocoa powder in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Gradually mix in the water. Stir it in a little at a time to make a paste out of the dry stuff. Place over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Boil the syrup until it is a dark, glossy brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the vanilla and liqueur of choice. Cover and chill until very cold.

* Pour the chocolate sorbet mixture into an ice cream maker and freeze according to directions. Serve immediate or transfer to a 1 pint container
