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.

Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce image

This homemade hot fudge tastes delicious on our Ice Cream Sundae Trifle.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups superfine sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Pinch of coarse salt

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate and butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Alternately add sugar and milk in two additions; whisk to combine. Add salt and continue whisking until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect hot fudge sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir constantly to prevent scorching.
  • Do not boil the sauce, as this can cause it to curdle.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • If the sauce is too thin, simmer over low heat until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • For a richer flavor, use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate instead of unsweetened chocolate.
  • Adding a pinch of salt to the frosting will help to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • When making the frosting, be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting and make it smooth and creamy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little milk or cream.
  • If the frosting is too thin, beat in some more powdered sugar.
  • For a chocolate frosting with a more intense flavor, add a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder to the frosting.
