2)

2 cups cocoa powder


3/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2/3 cup whole milk, room temperature
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup water

Heat the water until simmering


Cream cocoa powder and butter together into a paste
Add cocoa mixture to the hot water.
Bring it back to simmering.
Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl.
Sift the two sugars and salt together in a separate bowl.
Add the sugar to the cocoa mixture and stir well to combine.
Add the milk slowly and stir.
Pour in thin layers into moulds and freeze or refrigerate until firm.

The recipe doesn't produce tempered chocolate. It's more a firm truffle
consistency. To make it harder, use softened cocoa butter instead dairy butter.
That will give it a raw chocolate consistency - firmer than truffles, softer than a
candy bar.

The thinner you pour it, the harder it will become; thick moulds give a fudgier
consistency.
