Here’s How to Make Whipped Chocolate Butter 

Ingredients for Chocolate Compound Butter 

1/2 cup room temperature unsalted butter (8 tablespoons butter)

1/2 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Pinch of sea salt

Directions for Making Chocolate Whipped Butter 

Beat butter, chocolate chips, cacao powder, and pinch of salt together in a large bowl with an electric mixer at a low speed until completely blended together.

Serve this easy recipe at room temperature. I like to serve butter chocolate on toasted croissants.

Tips on making this recipe:

• When melting your semisweet chocolate chips, make sure you use a double boiler, otherwise the chocolate will likely burn.
• I added a few of the semisweet chocolate chips on top of the butter for an elegant presentation. You can also dust the chocolate butter with confectioner’s sugar.  I wrote a post on the top Chocolate Quotes You’ll Love, refer to this post for ideas on writing a personalized card on the tray.
• You can add a little vanilla extract for more flavor.
• If you use dark chocolate melted chocolate chips, you may have to add granulated sugar to the recipe.
• Try mixing the ingredients with nut butter instead of regular butter for a healthy twist.
