Have some fun with the flavour by adding dried spices, like cinnamon or cardamom, or even substituting the vanilla essence with rosewater or caramel essence.

Alternatively, put the bowl of chocolate into the microwave and melt in gradual 30-second bursts. Once the chocolate is melted and shiny, stir in the cream and vanilla essence.
