How To Make Chocolate Compound Butter
Chocolate compound butter is a luxurious, velvety spread that elevates even the simplest treats into something extraordinary. With just 10 minutes of prep and a bit of patience while it chills, you’ll create a rich, silky blend of creamy butter and decadent chocolate.
Ingredients
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20 seconds at a time, stir and repeat until melted. You can also place the chocolate in a double boiler to melt. Once melted, set aside to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooled chocolate, butter, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap and use the wrap to help shape the butter into a log.
- Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, until firm. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or slice and freeze for up to 2 months.
