Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Take the unsalted butter out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature. It should be soft but not melted.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the ingredients together on medium speed. Mix until fully combined, light, and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Stop occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, taste and adjust, if needed, by adding a touch more powdered sugar for sweetness or cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.
Transfer the chocolate butter to an airtight container or bowl. If not using immediately, store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Before serving, allow the chocolate butter to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften for easy spreading.
