Ingredients

200 g (7oz) golden granulated sugar
50 g (2oz) cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. instant espresso coffee powder
1 cinnamon stick
6 tsp. crème de cacao (chocolate liqueur) to serve

Directions

1. Step 1
  Put the sugar, cocoa, salt, coffee and cinnamon stick in a large pan with 600ml (1 pint) of water. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring, until the sugar has completely dissolved. Boil for 5min, then remove from the heat. Leave to cool. Remove the cinnamon stick, then chill.
2. Step 2
  Pour into a freezerproof container and put in the coldest part of the freezer until firmly frozen. Remove from the freezer, put the frozen mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Working quickly, put the mixture back in the container and return to the freezer. Freeze for at least 1hr. Alternatively, put mixture into an ice cream maker and churn for about 30min until firm. Store in freezer until needed.
3. Step 3
  Scoop out the sorbet and put into individual cups, then pour 1tsp liqueur over each one and serve immediately.
