Decadent Dark Chocolate Fudge Glaze

1.In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.

2.Remove the saucepan from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate to the cream. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to soften the chocolate.

3.Whisk the chocolate and cream mixture until smooth and fully combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

4.Sift in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, whisking continuously until the mixture is glossy and smooth.

5.Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the flavor.

6.Allow the glaze to cool slightly before using it to top your desserts. It will thicken as it cools, creating a luscious, fudgy texture.
