Quick & Easy Chocolate Sauce
Place the butter, cream, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla essence in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Add the cocoa powder and whisk thoroughly, cooking gently for 5 minutes at a slow simmer.
Pour the mixture over the bittersweet chocolate and whisk until melted.
Pass through a fine chinois and cool in a blast chiller, covering the surface with cling film to prevent a skin from forming.
