Five Ingredient Hot Fudge Sauce
Ingredients
- 8 ounces unsweetened chocolate, broken into chunks
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 ¾ cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Instructions
- Place the chocolate and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Using a double boiler also works well.
- Cook and stir continually until chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
- Add sugar and whipping cream and whisk.
- Cook on medium heat until the cream barely starts to boil and mixture is smooth.
- Continue whisking and cook for 3-4 minutes, until mixture is heated through and smooth.
- Remove from heat, add vanilla and stir.
- The hot fudge will start to thicken as it cools.
- Reheat in the microwave for thirty seconds at a time, then stirring, until desired temperature and consistency is reached.
Notes
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
I find heavy whipped cream adds richness to this recipe, but whipping cream can also be used with great results.
