Directions
-
In a large, heavy saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
-
Stir in the granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and 2/3 cup of the half-and-half.
-
Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes without stirring; then remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs until just blended.
-
Gradually stir about 1/2 cup of the hot chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs to temper them.
-
Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the remaining chocolate mixture in the saucepan, stirring constantly.
-
Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
-
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the chocolate sauce for a lighter texture.
-
Serve warm over desserts or refrigerate until ready to use.
