Cooking Method

For the butter:

  • 1
    Reduce the wine in a saucepan until it weighs about 15g or fills a 1 tbsp measure, then add the sugar and stir
  • 2
    Add 75g of butter to a bowl and mix through the cocoa powder
  • 3
    When the wine is reduced, add the chocolate, and the other 75g of butter and stir until melted
  • 4
    Pour the chocolate wine mix over the rest of the butter in the mixing bowl and stir until well combined and glossy
  • 5
    Set the bowl over a larger bowl with ice and whip vigorously until starts to firm up and change colour
  • 6
    Using two spoons, form a quenelle with the butter (YouTube has plenty of videos that show you how to do this, or try the steps below) and set aside, then garnish with sea salt
  • 7
    Dip two identical spoons into hot water
  • 8
    Shake off the excess water, and take a generous scoop of your chocolate butter in one spoon
  • 9
    Pass the mixture repeatedly between the spoons; turning and smoothing each side until a neat quenelle is formed.
