📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a medium saucepan whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and the cocoa powder. Whisk in heavy cream, milk and corn syrup. Bring to a simmer over medium heat (it should bubble at the edges of the pan).
2
Melt chocolate in a microwave safe bowl on 50% power in ⏱️ 30 second increments, stir between each until chocolate is melted. Let it cool slightly.
3
In a medium heatproof mixing bowl whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar with egg yolks until slightly pale and fluff, about 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Stir in melted chocolate (note that it will likely thicken and seem to set a bit, that's okay).

While whisking slowly pour in about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolk mixture. Then pour the egg yolk mixture into the pan while whisking somewhat vigourosly.
5
Continue to cook, while stirring constantly until the mixture in the saucepan has thickened slightly (it should coat the back of a wooden spoon and register 175 to 180 degrees on an instant read thermometer).
6
Immediately pour into a large heat proof mixing bowl and stir in vanilla extract. Cover with plastic wrap while carefully pressing it against the surface of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming.
