We used two 77% Dark Chocolate Bars for this rich indulgent dark chocolate sauce.
This dark chocolate sauce can be made ahead and stored in refrigerator; to serve, heat in a double boiler over low heat, whisking occasionally. Serve warm.

Ingredients

6 ounces 77% Dark Chocolate Bar, broken into pieces
8 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 ounce butter, diced into pieces
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Combine water and sugar in small sauce pan and stir to blend. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and forms simple syrup.
Transfer simple syrup to top of a double boiler over low heat; slowly add broken pieces of dark chocolate and butter, whisking occasionally until chocolate is melted.
Slowly whisk in cream and vanilla until fully blended and smooth.
Serve warm.
