Categories     dessert

Time 10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for reheating
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine the chocolate, heavy cream, butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until the chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. (Do not simmer or the chocolate may scorch and taste bitter; reduce the heat if needed.)
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let cool slightly. Refrigerate up to 1 week; reheat in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, thinning with more heavy cream if needed.
  • Use milk chocolate instead of semisweet along with 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter; increase the heavy cream to 1 cup and the brown sugar to 1/4 cup. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts at the end.
  • Use half semisweet and half milk chocolate along with 2/3 cup butterscotch chips; increase the butter to 6 tablespoons.
  • Add 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam with the chocolate. Replace the butter with coconut oil and omit the corn syrup and brown sugar. Use coconut extract instead of vanilla.
  • Add 1/3 cup cherry jam with the chocolate. Omit the corn syrup and brown sugar. Use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract instead of vanilla.
  • Add 1/3 cup orange marmalade and 1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder with the chocolate. Omit the corn syrup and brown sugar. Add 1/4 teaspoon orange extract with the vanilla.
  • Use milk chocolate instead of semisweet along with 1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread and 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder. Omit the corn syrup, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir in 2 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur at the end.

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.

Tips:

- **Choose high-quality chocolate:** Use semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a minimum 60% cocoa content for a rich, decadent flavor. - **Use fresh dairy:** Whole milk and heavy cream will give your hot fudge a smooth, creamy texture. - **Don't boil the fudge:** Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 212°F (100°C) on a candy thermometer. Boiling the fudge will cause it to seize and become grainy. - **Let the fudge cool slightly before serving:** This will allow it to thicken and become more spreadable. - **Store the fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks:** You can also freeze the fudge for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make delicious hot fudge that will be the perfect topping for your favorite desserts. Whether you enjoy it on ice cream, brownies, or cake, this rich, chocolatey sauce is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're craving something decadent, give this hot fudge recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
