Dark Chocolate Sorbet with Candied Oranges

I have the BIGGEST sweet tooth especially when it’s revolved around chocolate FODMAP desserts.  When we were in the Amalfi Coast, I was obsessed with chocolate gelato infused with citrus.  There was one cafe that actually had candied oranges in the gelato.  I was in chocolate heaven!!!!

I came back to Houston with a game plan!  I already had a dark chocolate sorbet recipe that I love to make and I knew I could add the candied oranges to make my own version of this heavenly FODMAP dessert.

Let’s have a serious talk now: I don’t know what it is but I cannot get on board the vanilla flavor train.  I grew up in a strictly chocolate household and whenever my aunt tried to sneak in a different flavored dessert to our family gatherings, there would be an uprising (slightly exaggerating but not by much!).  My husband says he hates chocolate (but what does he know) and always gets vanilla flavored dessert when we are out.  I have to say, even though this gelato is super rich, I saw him sneaking a few bites.  The candied oranges gives it a perfect balance to the rich chocolate.

The candied orange recipe I followed can be found here.  The one tip I would add is to constantly stir the sliced oranges as the syrup as it can quickly burn.
