• Spread mixture evenly on top of chocolate layer and freeze, pan covered with foil, until firm, about 2 hours.
• Make hot fudge sauce:
• Bring cream, syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and chocolate to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 3 minutes, then remove from heat. Stir in vanilla until incorporated. Cool sauce to warm.
