Ensure the unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color (about 2-3 minutes).
Sift in the powdered sugar and Dutch-processed cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth mixture.
Mix the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the butter on low speed until combined, then increase to medium speed and beat until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, and mix again to incorporate evenly.
Taste the chocoladeboter and adjust sweetness or salt to your preference, if needed.
Transfer the chocolate butter to a clean, airtight jar or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Allow the spread to soften at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving for easy spreading.
