Break or chop chocolate baking bar into 1" pieces. Bring the cream, sugar, and vanilla to a boil in a saucepan. Whisk the yolks in a bowl. Whisk about a third of the boiling cream into the yolks. Return the remaining cream to a boil and whisk in the yolk mixture. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, for another 15 to 20 seconds, until slightly thickened. Strain the cream into a bowl and add the chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the coffee.
