Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Cocoa butter
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Chop the cocoa butter into small pieces if it is not pre-grated, allowing it to melt more easily.
Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Make sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
Add the cocoa butter to the bowl and stir gently as it melts completely. This should take about 5 minutes.
Once the cocoa butter is fully melted, sift the cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the bowl while continuing to stir. This will prevent lumps and help achieve a smooth texture.
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate’s flavor. Mix well until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Carefully transfer the chocolate mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined baking dish for shaping. Tap the molds gently to remove any air bubbles.
Allow the chocolate to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, pop the chocolate out of the molds or cut it into pieces if using a baking dish. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
