1/2 cup butter
2 cups heavy cream, divided
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

2. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup of the cream with the egg yolks; add to the chocolate mixture. Cook 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly; cool to room temperature.
3. Separately, beat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cream, sugar and vanilla at medium speed until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Pour into loaf pan; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or chill in the freezer for 3 hours.
4. For sauce, puree raspberries; strain to remove seeds. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of Karo. Serve over Chocolate Decadence.
