Head on over to Epicurious for instructions. (Use the teaspoon of instant espresso powder and the 1 ½ cups of water instead of coffee).

Step 2

Add cream, butter, espresso powder, vanilla and salt into a saucepan, bring to a boil and stir until you have a uniform consistency.

Step 3

Take off the heat and add the Bourbon.

Step 4

Pour the hot cream mix over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute.

Pour over the cake and let set.
