- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of espresso over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add 8 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until pale and creamy.
