Flood Mud Microwave Hot Fudge Sauce
Description
This Hot Fudge Sauce recipe uses a combination of semisweet chocolate chips and chopped unsweetened chocolate melted together with salted butter for depth and richness. Powdered sugar and evaporated milk add sweetness and creaminess, while vanilla extract provides aromatic flavor. The sauce is cooked in bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently until it thickens and becomes bubbly, ensuring even heating and preventing burning.
The final sauce is smooth and glossy, ideal for pouring over ice cream, cakes, or other desserts. It behaves thickly when cooled but can be easily reheated to a pourable consistency.
Prepared sauce stores well in the refrigerator for several weeks. Reheating is conveniently done in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, stirring once mid-way, allowing quick access to hot fudge without stove use.
If evaporated milk is unavailable, heavy cream or whipping cream serves as an effective substitute with similar results. The recipe appears in the cookbook "House of Nash Eats Everyday" and balances ease with classic hot fudge taste.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 3 Tablespoons butter salted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk (about 2/3 cup)

Notes
- Use the microwave to reheat the sauce for 20 to 30 seconds, stirring halfway, to restore pourable consistency.
- Store the sauce in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 weeks.
- Heavy cream or whipping cream can replace evaporated milk if unavailable.
- Stir frequently during microwaving to prevent scorching and ensure even melting.
