Recipe: Lisa and Lucas' Cioccolato Fondente Italian Water Ice

Dark and smooth and icey... tasted just like cioccolato fondente gelato back in Italy!
Lisa and Lucas surprised me by making a batch of Italian water ice. It was Lucas' idea and they researched some recipes, decided how to make it taste more "Italian" and went to work. I had some tonight after dinner. It was amazing. One of the best frozen desserts I've even had in my life!

Recipe:

  • 5 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup Hershey's special Dark cocoa
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  1. Lucas and Lisa boiled the water and sugar into what's called a "simple syrup". They boiled the concoction for five minutes and then took it off the flame. Lucas added the cinnamon and cocoa and stirred until everything was dissolved and mixed thoroughly.
  2. They let the mixture cool down before placing it in the fridge overnight.
  3. Lucas put the plastic container of syrup solution into the freezer before he left for school this morning.
  4. After dinner... Ready to serve:  Lisa took an ice cream scoop and scraped the ice into balls and placed them into small ramekins. The trick is to scrape rather than trying to scoop. It's not ice cream. It's ice.
This was amazing... I told them next time I want them to try and duplicate the flavor of the Coco Gelato (coconut) that I had in Italy. They're a great team in the kitchen.
