Ingredients
- 10 ounces good quality semi-sweet chocolate* , chopped
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder , measured, then sifted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons butter , chopped
For Hot Fudge Sundae (optional):
- Ice cream , any flavor
- Whipped Cream
- Maraschino cherries
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Add chopped chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler on the stove, stirring constantly) and melt the chocolate on half power, stirring ever 30-seconds, until melted and smooth.
- Remove from microwave and stir in the sifted cocoa powder until smooth. The mixture will be thick. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, cream, salt and water. Stir constantly and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and butter.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture then stir until smooth.
- Serve warm, over ice cream for a hot fudge sundae, topped with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry on top.
Notes
- Chocolate: I use 10 oz (2 1/2 boxes) of semi-sweet Baker's chocolate or Trader Joes pound plus bars, but any high quality chocolate, like Ghirardelli chocolate chips, will work.
- Make Ahead Instructions: This hot fudge recipe stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Just keep it in an airtight container in the fridge and heat it slowly in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds it's a good consistency for pouring.
- Freezing Instructions: Let it cool completely then pour into a freezer safe jar and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Place it in the refrigerator to thaw overnight before warming in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds until it's a pourable consistency. Don't let it burn.
