Directions

  1. 1Weigh out all ingredients and keep them ready.

  3. 3Pour the hot mixture over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 30–60 seconds, then mix until the chocolate melts completely.
  4. 4Add cold cubed salted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
  5. 5Blend using a hand blender until the crémeux is perfectly smooth, glossy, and emulsified.
  6. 6Transfer to a container, cling wrap directly on the surface, and refrigerate for a few hours until fully set.
