Preparation
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, butter, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, and let simmer for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate); whisk until they are completely melted. Add the sifted cocoa and whisk until no lumps remain.
Step 2
Return the pan to low heat and simmer the sauce, whisking constantly, until it becomes glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste. Serve the sauce warm.

Chef's notes
Store the sauce in a jar or covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To reheat, warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, or reheat gently on medium power in the microwave. Be careful not to let it boil.
