FROM SMITTEN KITCHEN (smittenkitchen.com)
(Servings: Makes 1quart (1liter) but you can tell your husband less so he doesn’t figure out how much you’ve kept from him. [At least until he sees the chocolate smudges on your face.])
2 1/4cups water

1cup sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
6oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

1/2tsp vanilla extract
Directions:

1) In a large saucepan (yes, you must use a large one or it will bubble over. Trust me.), whisk together 1 1/2 cups of the water with the sugar, cocoa powder, & salt. Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Let it boil, continuing to whisk, for 45secs.

2) Remove from the heat & stir in the chocolate until it’s melted, then stir in the vanilla extract & the remaining 3/4 cup water.
3) Transfer the mixture to a blender & blend for 15sec. Transfer to a freezer proof container & freeze til almost set, then remove from freezer & blend. Refreeze.
