Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce

Recipe Archive· Toppings

Hot Fudge Sauce so good you will find spouses sticking fingers right in the jar to sneak a taste when they thought no one was looking!

Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce

December is not exactly prime ice cream season, but it is with this Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce in the fridge.

The first year I gave this out my friends I included the recipe and ingredients for them to be able to make more.

I went to the store for my favorite brand of pure vanilla.

I recommended that they buy two bottles to make sure there was enough to go around.

I was told how much they enjoyed the Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce.

I also received news that several couples caught their spouses sticking fingers right in the jar to sneak a taste when they thought no one was looking!

these are the INGREDIENTS you will need:

  • 2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 2 teaspoons peppermint extract substitute vanilla, if you don’t want the mint flavor

these are the INSTRUCTIONS for preparation:

  • In a double boiler over medium heat stir in cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the cream and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter is melted and the sauce comes together and is smooth and glossy. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Then, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in the peppermint extract. Store in the fridge and re-heat when ready to use.

NOTES:

Storage notes:This sauce is great to packages in glass jars for gifts. When pouring the sauce from the bowl into the jar it is helpful to use a kitchen funnel if you have one available. This sauce will stay in the fridge for up to two weeks or more.Serving ideas: In addition to ice-cream, this sauce is excellent drizzled over slices of pound cake, cheesecake or a meringue. The version made with vanilla extract is also delicious served with poached fruit.

The jars of Sauce never last more than a couple of days.

I take that as a huge acceptance of the recipe and as a compliment.

If you read my blog it is apparent how much I love to add toppings to my desserts.

Hot Fudge Sauce is one of my most used toppings.

After many didn’t recipes I have tried I can say this is the best one by far.

It is thick and brings out all the flavors the the sugars, cocoa powder and vanilla.

I am proud to make gift baskets of the ingredients and final product of this Hot Fudge.

Baby Showers, House Warmings, Graduations, Retirements and Holidays are just some of the occasions I give my gifts.

They are received with smiles and open arms.

I use this on many of my desserts. See it here on my Whoppers Malted Cheesecake.
