- 250 grams of dark chocolate
- 250 grams of butter
- A pinch of salt

- Beat for 2 minutes at low speed and 3 minutes at high speed.
- Add the finely chopped chocolate and mix with a spatula.
- Cut a piece of parchment paper, crumple it, and wet it (this makes it very soft and flexible).
- Open it, lay it on the baking tray, and spread it with 1 tablespoon of softened butter.
- Pour the mixture into a 30 cm baking tray.
- Preheat the convection oven to 200°C and bake for 15-20 minutes until it forms a light crust. The center should be moist.

- Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Cut it into pieces.
Enjoy!
