Description

Decadent Hot Fudge Sauce is a rich, thick, and glossy chocolate sauce perfect for drizzling over ice cream, brownies, or any dessert in need of a chocolatey upgrade.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt


Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to simmer.
  2. Reduce heat to low and add chocolate chips. Stir constantly until melted and fully incorporated.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  4. Let cool slightly before serving. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
  5. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently before using.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Add a splash of espresso or liqueur for a flavor twist.
