Cut the butter and dark chocolate into small pieces. Place them in a heatproof bowl and melt together over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until smooth, then remove from the heat.

Stir the brewed espresso and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is smooth, slightly pale, and thickened.
