1
Melt Dark Chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan, ensuring it doesn't touch the water. Stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth.
2
Combine Butter and Sugar
In a separate bowl, add the butter and sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat them together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
3
Mix in Cocoa Powder and Vanilla
Sift the cocoa powder into the butter and sugar mixture, and then add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4
Incorporate Melted Chocolate
Once the dark chocolate is melted, let it cool for a minute and then pour it into the butter mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
5
Add Salt
Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the chocolate mixture and stir well.
6
Chill the Mixture
Transfer the chocolate mixture into a container and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
