Hot Fudge Sauce
Description
The Hot Fudge Sauce recipe uses semi-sweet chocolate chips combined with heavy cream, brown sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder to build a thick, smooth chocolate sauce. The salted butter enriches the sauce with a subtle savory edge, while vanilla extract adds an aromatic sweetness. The sauce is cooked by bringing all ingredients to a boil with constant whisking, then simmered gently to thicken.
The result is a syrupy, glossy sauce that coats desserts evenly without being overly heavy or grainy. Its smooth texture and intense chocolate flavor make it a traditional accompaniment to ice cream sundaes or as a decadent topping for cakes and other sweets.
Leftover sauce keeps well when stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container and can even be frozen for longer storage without losing quality. Cooling before serving allows it to thicken further.
Ingredients
- 3 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 6 TB brown sugar
- 2 TB cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 TB butter salted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- In a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat, add all the ingredients, whisking to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly.
- Once boiling, immediately reduce the temperature to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and let the fudge cool before serving.
- Store leftover sauce in airtight glass container in fridge for future use.
Notes
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several weeks to retain freshness.
- The sauce can be frozen for 2 to 3 months for longer storage without compromising texture.
- Allow the sauce to cool after cooking to thicken properly before using.
