The Best Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe

This hot fudge sauce is rich, chocolatey, and perfect for drizzling over ice cream, cakes, or even enjoying straight from the jar! It’s simple to make and takes just a few ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and butter.
2. Heat the Mixture:
   • Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate and butter have melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Vanilla and Salt:
   • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix until fully combined.
4. Serve:
   • Pour the hot fudge sauce over your favorite desserts like ice cream, brownies, or cakes. Enjoy it warm!
5. Store:
   • Allow any leftover sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To reheat, microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until warm.

Tips:

• Adjusting Thickness: If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a bit more cream. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer.
• Flavor Variations: Experiment by adding a splash of coffee or a dash of cinnamon for a unique flavor twist.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with whipped cream, nuts, or fresh fruit for an extra delicious treat!
