Groom bought me a present when we got back from vacation.
A faboo Cuisinart ice cream maker. I had plans for this baby.
Big plans.
Then, reality.
Eating right, all things in moderation.
That meant no facey downey in ice cream.
Howsomuchever, no one said one word about a dairy free sorbet.
Dark chocolate is good for you.
It can be a reward.
It can be a part of your life.
It can be your friend.
In moderation.
Welcome to the Dark Chocolate Moderation Plan a la Feeding Groom.
If one wants a treat, have a little bit of dark chocolate.
If one wants a splurge, have a spoonful of this stuff.
Straight from the Cuisinart Recipe Booklet that came with the ice cream maker.
Along with nutritional information.
Moderation is not a bad thing at all.

I bet this was delicious! What a great present too!
Chocolate sorbet sounds so good!
This looks like a delicious sorbet! You can never go wrong with a good chocolate
Love the chocolate sorbet. I might make this one next with my new ice cream maker.
I just tried my hand at cappuccino gelato, which turned out well.
Hi Mary! I've been like Claudia and under the radar lately... but how are you? I just got a Cuisnart ice cream maker too! At a yard sale! For $7.00!! I am so excited. I made peach ice cream and look forward to trying this sorbet soon... seems like making homemade ice cream is on everyone's mind these days. Let's have an ice cream making party!
My ice cream freezer broke about 4 years ago. I don't miss it often, but now I sad. I want chocolate sorbet. I need to visit a yard sale, like Joy...
We would like to feature this adapted recipe on our blog. Please email sophiekiblogger@gmail.com if interested. Thanks :)

Cathy: This is just about the best thing to have in the back of the freezer as cold as it can get. It just makes your day. And as for a present..it was the best. Groom's a keeper.
Kevin: it is so good.
Mike: Hey thanks for stopping by. You're absolutely right about chocolate.
S: you can't go wrong with homemade ice cream or sorbet.
and that gelato looks great.
Joy: Hey there, you have been under the radar. $7 bucks. I won't tell Groom, although the ice cream maker was not expensive, you have him beat price wise. an ice cream party sounds divine.
fluff: do it girlfriend..we can do our own miss martha's ice cream cranking thang...
