Ingredients
- 50 g dark chocolate chopped
- 50 g hazelnut butter 100% pure ground hazelnuts
- 20 g icing sugar
- pinch sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a heat-proof bowl, add in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Place the bowl over a double-boiler and heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally with a spatula until the chocolate is melted.
- Next, add in hazelnut butter in small increments, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Add in the icing sugar, sea salt and stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Turn off the heat and add in a tiny splash of vanilla extract. Give it a stir. If it starts to seize, continue to stir over the remaining heat and it should smooth itself out.
