Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
- ½ cup unsalted butter (113g)
- 6 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate finely chopped (170g)
- ¼ cup unsweetened natural cocoa powder (20g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine the cream, sugar, salt, and butter in a small pot the place over medium heat, stirring frequently until the butter melts and the mixture starts to simmer.
- Simmer for just under a minute then reduce heat to medium-low. Add the chocolate in and stir until melted.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder and vanilla then return to heat and cook on low for about 30 seconds or until glossy and smooth.
- Jar and store in the refrigerator, when ready to use reheat in a saucepan over medium low heat.
Notes
- Add corn syrup for a softer hot fudge. While I typically make homemade hot fudge recipe without corn syrup, you can add ¼ cup of light corn syrup at the beginning of the recipe. This will give you an extra glossy fudge that stays softer at a cooler temperature.
- Use unsalted butter. Different brands of butter have varying levels of salt in their salted butter. This is why you should use unsalted butter and add ¼ teaspoon salt instead. You can skip the salt entirely if you prefer, but I do like the extra something special it brings to the hot fudge recipe.
- Do not use high heat. Chocolate and cocoa powder can burn easily. Use low to medium heat only so the sauce doesn't burn on the bottom of your pot.
- Hot fudge will naturally thicken more as it cools, so don't worry if it's not super thick immediately when taken off the heat.
- Use different chocolate for a sweeter sauce. You can use dark chocolate bars with a lower percentage of cacao (60% to 70%) in place of the bittersweet for a sweeter hot fudge recipe. If you don't have chocolate bars, you can use semisweet chocolate chips.
