Line a small loaf pan (about 8x4 inches) with parchment paper, ensuring the edges of the paper hang over the sides of the pan for easy removal later.
Chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and powdered sugar. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter melts and the mixture is just about to simmer, but do not let it boil.
Remove the cream mixture from the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften, then stir gently with a spatula until smooth and fully combined.
Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor of the chocolate mixture.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Smooth the surface with a spatula if needed.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate pate is firm and set.
Once set, carefully lift the chocolate pate out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer it to a serving plate.
Dust the top of the pate with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Slice the chocolate pate into thin, elegant pieces and serve with fresh raspberries on the side for a delightful contrast of rich and tangy flavors.
