To Make hot fudge:

1. Place 1 cup whipping cream, 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 4 oz chocolate together over low heat in heavy pan, until chocolate melts.

3. Remove from heat and add vanilla, mixing until smooth.

4. Let cool completely before topping the ice cream.

5. When hot fudge is completely cooled, top ice cream and place pie back into freezer.
