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.

NO GUILT HOT FUDGE SAUCE



No Guilt Hot Fudge Sauce image

Per the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) this makes a thick rich sauce and he's right on with this description. The sauce thickens well, with a nice gloss and remains pourable even when chilled. I've made numerous batches of this recipe to dip strawberries and orange slices and to top that boring fat-free frozen yogurt. Truth be know, I often sneak a spoonful straight-up while browsing the fridge. ;-)

Tips:

  • To make the smoothest sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk constantly while cooking.

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or cocoa powder.

  • Serve the sauce warm over ice cream, brownies, or cake.
