Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter. Make sure the butter is at room temperature to facilitate easy mixing.
Step 2
Sift the powdered sugar and Dutch-processed cocoa powder into the bowl to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth consistency.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture.
Step 4
Using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon, beat the ingredients together until smooth, creamy, and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Taste the chocolate butter and adjust the sweetness or saltiness if desired by adding a small amount of powdered sugar or salt.
Step 6
Transfer the Dutch Chocolate Butter to an airtight container or serving dish. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean presentation.
Step 7
Refrigerate the butter for 10-15 minutes if you want it to firm up slightly for easier spreading. Otherwise, it can be used immediately.
Step 8
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Bring it to room temperature before using for the best texture.
