Warm Chocolate Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

In a small, heavy saucepan, bring the cream to a bare simmer over low heat. Place the chocolate pieces in a medium bowl. Remove the cream from the heat and whisk slowly into the chocolate. Add the vanilla and continue whisking until the chocolate melts and the sauce thickens.

Serve the chocolate sauce warm, or let cool to room temperature.
