This is so rich and delish -- my grandma used to keep a jar in the fridge to eat with a spoon. I've made it with skim evaporated milk and Land o'Lakes 1/2 calorie butter with no ill effects (but really, what's the point? LOL!)

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. This can cause it to seize and become grainy. Heat it over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add a little bit of salt. This will help to balance out the sweetness of the sauce.
  • Use heavy cream or whole milk. This will make the sauce richer and creamier.
  • Don't boil the sauce. This will cause it to thicken too much and become rubbery.
  • Serve the sauce warm. This is the best way to enjoy its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Hot Fudge Sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping. It can be used on ice cream, cake, brownies, and fruit. It is also great as a dipping sauce for pretzels, cookies, and marshmallows. With its rich, chocolatey flavor and smooth, creamy texture, Grandma's Hot Fudge Sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
