Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅛ teaspoon instant coffee
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1½ ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
- 12 ounces evaporated milk (1 can)
Instructions
- Sift together the cocoa powder, instant coffee, sugar and salt to break up any lumps.
- Combine the sifted mixture, butter, baking chocolate, and evaporated milk in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Whisking the mixture continuously, bring to a boil and continue whisking for 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat when the mixture begins to thicken. Don’t let it burn.
- Allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes, then serve immediately or continue cooling before storing in containers for refrigeration.
- If reheating after being chilled warm the hot fudge in the microwave for 5-10 seconds at a time, until desired temperature has been reached.

Notes
- Storage: Store hot fudge sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
- This recipe makes 4 cups of fudge sauce.
- Remember to use unsalted butter! Sometimes it's up to your personal tastes, but I don't think anyone likes a salty chocolate sauce.
- I like keeping my hot fudge sauce in a cute airtight glass jar, as it makes for the best presentation and keeps the sauce fresh. However, plastic airtight containers work just as well.
- Remember to let the sauce cool for a while before you dig in! It'll be tempting to just go for it, but remember that the sauce was brought to a boil, so it'll be HOT! Just 2 or 3 minutes will leave the sauce warm and gooey instead of piping hot.
