Philadelphia Chocolate Water Ice
A dark, intensely chocolatey spin on the classic Philadelphia-style water ice, made by scraping a cooked cocoa-and-sugar syrup into loose, granular ice crystals rather than churning it smooth. No dairy, no fat beyond a touch of dark chocolate — just bittersweet cocoa, sugar and water frozen into a coarse, refreshing shave.

Instructions
1
Combine the water, sugar, sifted cocoa powder and salt in a small saucepan and whisk until no lumps remain.
2
Set over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly for about 2 minutes until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture darkens slightly.
3
Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
4
Stir in the vanilla extract once the mixture has cooled slightly.
5
Pour the mixture into a shallow tray or tub (about 350ml), let cool to room temperature, then cover and freeze for at least 3 hours.
6
Every 30-40 minutes during the first 2 hours, scrape the mixture with a fork to break up ice crystals into a coarse, granular texture.
7
Once fully frozen and fluffy-crystalled throughout, scrape again just before serving and pile into chilled cups as 2 scoops per portion.
