method
1. Grate the chocolate coarsely. Put it in a heatproof basin with the butter and water.
2. Stand the basin over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate and butter melt.
3. Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the cream and vanilla essence.
4. Serve at once over rice desserts, chilled, stewed, or canned pears, or ice cream.
5. When cold, the sauce thickens enough to be used as a soft filling for eclairs or profiteroles.
