Chewy Hot Fudge Sauce
This hot fudge has a butter caramel base, giving it a magical texture that's molten when hot and pleasantly chewy where it touches a cold scoop of ice cream. This gives the hot fudge some substance, and yet it melts away into a blissful pool of buttery chocolatey caramel in your mouth.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons water
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ½ cup evaporated cane sugar (or granulated sugar)
- ⅔ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cultured unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 120 grams bittersweet chocolate (roughly chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Add the water and corn-syrup to a heavy bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Dump the sugar into center of the pot in a mound making sure you don't get any sugar on the sides of the pot.
- Let this mixture boil until until it reaches 320 degrees F (160 C).
- Add the cream a little bit a time, whisking well to incorporate. If you add too much cream at once, it will boil over.
- Whisk in the butter and cocoa powder and then whisk in the chocolate, a little bit at a time. Finish the hot fudge by whisking in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
