 Crème Anglaise

 Cocoa powderCrème anglaise 
 Chocolate Fudge more
   with 200 gm chocolate (54 to 72%)
 1 Qt  milk
 1 cup heavy cream
 3  Vanilla beans (optional)
   
 12 each yolks
 1  cup  (225 gm) sugar
 optional  : pinch of sea salt
  
  Bring the milk and cream to a boil a first time infusing the vanilla beans (do the same if you use vanilla extract).
 
  Beating energetically using a wire whisk, combine yolks and sugar until it turn into lemon color.
 
  Remove the boiling liquid from the flame
Pour some of the boiling liquid over the egg /sugar mixture, mix well and add this mixture back to the remaining boiled liquid.
 
  Put the pan back on the stove over medium heat .
By using a wooden spoon,gently finish cooking the crème anglaise until thick enough to cover the back of the spoon.
 
  The safest way remains to use a thermometer. In this case, turn off the flame when the mixture reaches 84 C / 183 F.
  Strain immediately into a bowl over a bath of ice
 
 
TIP: by tracing a line with a finger on the cream coated spoon, we should see this line remaining still.

 with more calories

Proceed like it says above
Just substitute the water with cream
It will become more likely a hot ganache
It means that when you'll be done with your fondue ,you'll be able to confection some homemade TRUFFLES
 
_very important_ let the ganache totally cool before storing in the fridge (otherwise you will obtain a layer of separated fat atop the ganache)
 
_other tip_ after taking the ganache out of the fridge , wait for 20 min ,then in the mixer and using the spatula , give it a short emulsion (let just turn 10 seconds onto medium speed) and you'll obtain a rich chocolate mousse
