Ingredients

Directions

  1. Allow unsalted butter to soften at room temperature until easily spreadable.
  2. Finely chop high-quality dark or milk chocolate into small pieces for even melting.
  3. Place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and melt gently, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove melted chocolate from heat and let it cool slightly for two minutes so it does not melt the butter instantly.
  5. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
  6. Gradually add the melted chocolate to the butter, mixing on low speed until fully combined and smooth.
  7. Spoon the chocolate butter into a small ramekin or roll into a log using parchment paper.
  8. Refrigerate for at least one hour until firm before slicing or serving.
