What you’re gonna need:
-Stand mixer
-Microwave
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
-3 tsp orange extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-3 cup powdered sugar
-1 cup dark cocoa powder
-1/2 cup heavy cream
-12oz (or 340g) dark chocolate (53%)
Instructions:
-In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave. Stop and stir it with a spoon every 30 seconds, to avoid burning it. When everything is well melted, set the bowl aside.
-In the mixer bowl, with the whisk attachment, beat the butter for about a minute. Add in the orange extract and the salt, and beat for at least 30 seconds more.
-With the mixer on slow, slowly add the powdered sugar and the cocoa powder to the butter mixture. Don’t forget to scrape the sides. Keep the mixer on low.
-Pour the melted chocolate into the mixing bowl, little by little.
-Add the heavy cream, and beat for about 3 minutes. Again, don’t forget to scrape the sides and to make sure that everything is well combined.
Use it immediately. If you put it in the refrigerator to use it later on, bring it to room temperature and beat it in the mixer for a couple of minutes before using it.
That’s it 🙂 See you guys soon!
