QUICK HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Quick Hot Fudge Sauce image

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. Last week, DH had eaten all the Magic Shell ( :) ) so I whipped out my cookbook & whipped this up -- it's just as I remembered! Quick, and with such a good flavor. While it's hot, it's kind of thin, like Hershey's syrup consistency-wise, but I like it best cold out of the fridge -- it's thick and pours sloooowly over the ice cream (or cake or whatever). Yum!

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.

Categories     condiments, ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate in small pieces
1 1/4 cups sifted high-fat Dutch-process cocoa like Valrhona, Pernigotti or Droste (sift, then measure)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, combine cream, butter, sugars and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer 45 seconds. Add chocolate, and whisk to dissolve. Remove from heat, add cocoa, and whisk until no lumps remain.
  • Return pan to low heat, and simmer sauce until glossy, whisking constantly, 20 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Serve warm. To reheat sauce, warm in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil.

Tips and Tricks

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good rule of thumb is to use chocolate that contains at least 60% cocoa solids.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the temperature of the sauce by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the sauce forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce, as this can make it thick and grainy.
  • To make a chocolate sauce that is extra smooth, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
  • Hot fudge sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently over low heat before serving.

Conclusion

Hot fudge sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, including ice cream, brownies, and cake. It is also a great addition to milkshakes and sundaes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own homemade hot fudge sauce that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
