  2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Remove from the microwave and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Add the powdered sugar and salt. Whisk until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. (If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon or two of milk or cream.)
