CHOCOLATE FUDGE SAUCE

I use Golden Syrup for the Chocolate Fudge Sauce. However, if you can't find it, light corn syrup or light agave nectar will work well, too. Although Dark Chocolate with 70% cocoa content may seem a little too dark for any milk chocolate lover's liking, that is not the case-I find it works perfectly, especially since it is diluted a bit by the cream and the other ingredients. 70% cocoa content is ideal, but if you don't have that on hand, use whatever you have- I wouldn't go below 64% cocoa content, though.

HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Hot Fudge Sauce image

This recipe for a classic hot fudge sauce came to The Times in 2004, from Kay Rentschler. "A well-constructed homemade hot fudge sauce moves forward with dark smoky accents and arrives with plenty of chew," she wrote. Here, bittersweet chocolate and high-fat Dutch process cocoa bring that smokiness, while heavy cream, butter and sugar mellow it out. It's a perfect contrast to the milky sweetness of a sundae loaded with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
