Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 ml Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the Dutch-processed cocoa powder and granulated sugar. Stir them together to remove any clumps.
Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and whisk the mixture until smooth and well combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Stir constantly to melt the butter and create a glossy mixture.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the saucepan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well to enhance the flavor of the cocoa spread.
Allow the spread to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, airtight jar or container.
Let the spread cool completely at room temperature before sealing the jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
To serve, bring the spread to room temperature or warm it slightly for easy spreading. Enjoy on toast, waffles, crepes, or as a dessert topping!
