Intense Chocolate Granita

This chocolate slush is any cocoa lover's dream. Unlike a smoothie, its crystal-like texture makes it extremely refreshing while preserving all the intensity of dark chocolate. To achieve perfect sweetness without calories and, above all, to enhance the deep notes of cocoa, we will use Erythritol Powder and the best-kept secret of chocolatiers: a pinch of Bonsalt 0%.

Technical Sheet

• Estimated Time: 10 minutes of prep + 3 hours of freezing

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 500 ml of water (or unsweetened almond milk for extra creaminess)

• 4 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder (100% cocoa)

• 4-5 tablespoons of Erythritol Powder

• 40g of dark chocolate (+85% cocoa) finely chopped

• Seasoning: A pinch of Bonsalt 0% and vanilla essence.

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Cocoa dissolution: Heat a small amount of the water (about 100 ml) and dissolve the cocoa powder and the Erythritol Powder in it until there are no lumps.

2. Flavor infusion: Add the vanilla essence and the chopped dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate has completely melted with the residual heat.

3. The master touch: Add a pinch of Bonsalt 0%. Chemically, the potassium in Bonsalt acts as an enhancer of cocoa flavonoids, making the chocolate taste "more chocolatey" and reducing the need to add more sweetener.

4. Final mix: Add the rest of the cold water (or plant-based milk) and mix well until the base is fully combined.

5. Slush technique: * Pour the mixture into a flat metal container and place it in the freezer.

   • Every 40-50 minutes, take the container out and scrape the surface with a fork to break up the ice crystals. Repeat the process 3 times until you get that chocolate snow texture.

6. Serving: Serve in chilled glasses and garnish with a little sprinkled cocoa or some cocoa nibs for a crunchy touch.
