Ingredients

3 cups water

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup Dutch processed, unsweetened cocoa powder

3 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

1 tablespoon orange zest

1 cup California walnuts, finely chopped, toasted

Directions

In medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water, sugar and cocoa powder to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and cocoa is well blended, about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. Let cool completely.
Stir in orange zest and walnuts.
Cover and refrigerate until completely cold, about 4 hours.
Spoon chilled chocolate into shallow metal pan; freeze until almost firm, about 3 hours.
Break into chunks; purée in food processor. Pack into airtight container and freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Alternatively, transfer chilled mixture to ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer’s instructions.
