Ingredients
- 100 grams Cocoa butter
- 50 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 75 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Chop the cocoa butter into small pieces if it is not pre-grated, allowing it to melt more easily.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the cocoa butter to the bowl and stir gently as it melts completely. This should take about 5 minutes.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate’s flavor. Mix well until the mixture is silky and smooth.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
