Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and let it simmer for about 1 minute.
  2. Off heat, stir in chocolate, and let sit for 1 minute. Whisk the sauce until smooth, and the chocolate is fully melted. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth, with no lumps remaining.
  3. Return the pan to low heat and simmer the sauce, whisking constantly, until it becomes glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 1 minute.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve the sauce warm.
