   • In a small bowl, sift the Dutch cocoa powder, ensuring there are no lumps.
   • Transfer the sifted cocoa powder to the top of a double boiler.

2. Combine Ingredients:

   • Slowly whisk in the hot water into the cocoa powder until it forms a smooth mixture.
   • Next, whisk in the granulated sugar and a pinch of salt, ensuring everything is well combined.

3. Cook the Mixture:

   • Place the double boiler over simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
   • Whisk the mixture constantly as it cooks, allowing the sugar to dissolve completely. This should take about 1 minute.

4. Incorporate Butter:

   • Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from heat.
   • Gradually add the unsalted butter, one piece at a time, into the cocoa mixture.
   • Beat the mixture just until the butter melts and is fully absorbed.

5. Add Vanilla Flavour:

   • Whisk in the vanilla extract until it is well incorporated into the smooth spread.

6. Cool and Store:

   • Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature.
   • Once cooled, rewhisk the spread to aerate the butter and ensure a smooth consistency.

7. Storage:

   • Transfer the Dutch Cocoa Spread into a covered container.
   • Refrigerate the spread, and it will keep well for up to 1 month.

8. Serving:

   • Before serving, bring the Dutch Cocoa Spread to room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
   • Enjoy spreading this luscious chocolate goodness on your favorite bread, pancakes, or simply savor it straight from the spoon!
