Chocolate Sorbet by Analiese Gregory

Analiese Gregory is a chef based in Tasmania. She has spent time as a chef at Franklin, Quay and Ledbury. Analiese says about the recipe. "Here is a chocolate sorbet recipe developed for Peter Gilmore when I worked at Quay. It highlights the nuances of high-quality chocolate and has an insane mouthfeel. Plus, it's accidentally vegan, which is sometimes helpful. I've also made variations, replacing the water with cherry juice in Tasmania or coconut water in NSW. Feel free to play around. Some garnishes I have thought of using are cultured cream, olive oil, argan oil, whipped salted caramel or capers. Not all at the same time, however.
