- Whisk the egg yolks, sugar and salt together until combined.
- Whisk the hot cream/chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time to genty warm the yolks.
- When all the chocolate/cream has been added, whisk in the vanilla and transfer the mixture to individual heat-safe serving dishes.
