Categories     Sauce     Chocolate

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 tbs. unsalted butter, in small pieces
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Combine butter, granluated sugar, brown sugar, cocoa, cream and salt in heavy medium size saucepan. Cook over moderate heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir, scraping bottom and sides of the pan until the suger is melted and the sauce is smooth. Serve immediately or place in wide mouth container in refrigerator up to 1 month. Reheat by placing container in pan of simmering water or double boiler.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The type of chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your fudge sauce. Choose a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize up and become grainy. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hot when you're melting it.
  • Use a heavy saucepan. A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fudge sauce from scorching.
  • Stir the fudge sauce constantly. Stirring the fudge sauce constantly will help to prevent it from burning and will also help to smooth out the texture.
  • Let the fudge sauce cool slightly before serving. The fudge sauce will thicken as it cools, so let it cool slightly before serving so that it's not too runny.
