Hot Fudge Sauce
Great on ice cream or straight out of the jar with a spoon.
Once I started making homemade fudge sauce, I never went back to store bought. It was both cheaper and tastier, an irresistible combination. My favorite way to eat this is on coffee ice cream, but the rest of my family prefers the traditional sundae route, complete with whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.
Sometimes I discover that the jar of fudge sauce is unexpectedly low, with fudge coated spoons piled in the sink. I’m not one to judge. It is that good.
Ingredients
2/3 cup heavy cream 1/2 cup light corn syrup 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Bring cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa, salt and half the chocolate to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and add butter, vanilla and remaining chocolate, stirring until the chocolate and butter have melted and the sauce is smooth.
Cool sauce slightly before serving or place in a jar in the fridge and reheat in microwave for a few moments.
