INGREDIENTS:

13 ounces bitter or semisweet chocolate
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups heavy cream

METHOD:

In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chopped
chocolate and the butter. Heat in the microwave
until melted, about 35 seconds depending on your
microwave, and stir to melt completely.
Whisk in the egg yolks and set aside to cool.
Pour the cream into a chilled bowl of a mixer and
beat on medium speed until it starts to thicken.
Add the sugar and vanilla and whisk until the cream
starts to form stiff peaks. Carefully fold the
whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture.
Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.
