Do you need a little jolt on a hot summer afternoon? When I’m feeling lethargic from the heat, it’s a perfect time for a Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Iced Mocha! With the caffeine and chocolate it’s sure to give you a little needed energy to make it through the remainder of the day. It’s my drink of choice! The chocolate sorbet adds the small amount of sweetness needed to this drink, besides adding the decadent chocolate taste. Even when made dairy free, it is delicious. This mocha is sure to put a smile on your face and erase any troubles! At least temporarily!
If you are looking for a dairy free and gluten free chocolate sorbet, Talenti brand makes one: Talenti Dairy Free Dark Chocolate Sorbetto. There are so many options, but the last one I’ll mention is Nada Moo! This is a brand my daughter introduced us to. The Nada Moo! Organic Chocolate Dairy Free Frozen Dessert, is a great choice for a dairy free and gluten free “ice cream”. All these sorbets and chocolate desserts are very good. They are so creamy in texture, without the cream. I have also made chocolate sorbet dairy free and gluten free, and that is an option as well as there are many recipes online. There are even some name brand recipes for it!
We’ve been eating Talenti brand gelatos and sorbettos for many years now, but more recently they have been labeling their gluten free products as such. So, don’t ever assume they are all gluten free. If you don’t need dairy free, Breyers ice cream is usually a safe bet, but again check the label for the “gluten free” certification.
