YouTube: The World's Greatest Hot Fudge Sauce
The world's greatest homemade hot fudge sauce takes only about 15 minutes to make, from start to finish, and it only has a few ingredients. Add semi-sweet chocolate chips to some heavy cream, stir until the chocolate melts, and then add sugar, molasses, corn syrup, cocoa powder, and a little salt. Then bring it to a boil, turn the heat down to low, and let it simmer for only about three to five minutes. Now we add some butter and a little vanilla extract, and we have what may be the world's greatest hot fudge sauce. It doesn't cost a lot, it's easy to make, and it's so much better than what we buy at the store, that the little bit of effort to make it is definitely worth it.
Pans needed: 2 quart saucepan.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (cold or room temperature)
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
If you're chopping up whole chocolate for this dish, do it first. Place the chopped chocolate onto a dish or into a small bowl, and keep it in the refrigerator until it's time to use it in the cocoa. If you're using semi-sweet chocolate chips, then of course you don't have to chop them up.
Add 1/2 a cup of cream to your saucepan, then add the chocolate chips. On low to medium heat, stir the chocolate chips in the cream until they're melted and combined. Add sugar, molasses, corn syrup, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and let it simmer for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Stir in butter until melted. Add vanilla extract. Stir everything together until combined.
Serve immediately. Drizzle or pour your hot fudge sauce over whatever you want: ice cream, cold fruit, cake, or anything.
