CLASSIC HOT FUDGE SUNDAE



Classic Hot Fudge Sundae image

There is a reason a hot fudge sundae is such an enduring classic: That combination of warm, rich chocolate fudge mixing with frozen ice cream and melting it slightly is absolutely irresistible. Of course, if you have homemade fudge sauce and homemade ice cream, it gets even better. Vanilla ice cream is the standard here, but feel free to use your favorite flavor, or a combination of flavors. And if you like nuts, by all means use them here. The added crunch is marvelous against all the rich creaminess.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup or honey
3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
7 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon brandy or rum
1 cup chilled heavy cream
1 tablespoon superfine sugar, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 pints your favorite flavor ice cream
Chopped toasted nuts, such as almonds, peanuts, or pecans (optional)
Cherries, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt to a simmer, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chocolate and let cook until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or liquor. Let cool slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is best served warm, not piping hot.
  • For assembly, make the whipped cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  • Pour a little fudge sauce into the bottoms of sundae dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then more hot fudge, then nuts if using. Cover all with whipped cream and a cherry if you like. Serve.

HOT FUDGE AND SALTED CHOCOLATE BITS SUNDAE



Hot Fudge and Salted Chocolate Bits Sundae image

Sundaes are the chamber music of the dessert world. Their composition and construction follow the contours of grand works, but mostly they're played out in miniature, their delights designed to be shared by a duet or an audience of one, long spoon in hand. The composition of this sundae is classic. There's ice cream - the flavors of your choice in whatever quantities you want; sauce -homemade hot fudge sauce based on dark chocolate (not chips, please); fresh whipped cream; and two different add-ins, toasted slivered almonds and chopped chocolate bits. It's the bits that are the big surprise - they're bittersweet chocolate and salt, melted together, frozen and then cut into morsels. The salt is unexpected, but not dissonant - it's what brings out the best in the sundae's other players.

Categories     ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 20m

Yield 4 sundaes.

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not chips), finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon fleur de sel (or 1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt)
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate (not chips), finely chopped
3/4 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons sugar
About 3/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
1 pint coffee (or favorite flavor) ice cream
1 pint vanilla (or favorite flavor) ice cream
Lightly sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • To make the bits: Line a pie plate with plastic wrap. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or on low power in a microwave. Add the salt, stir to blend and then, using a spatula, spread the chocolate on the plastic, making a layer that's 1/8-inch thick (shape doesn't matter). Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface and freeze for at least 45 minutes. When you're ready to make the sundaes, chop the chocolate into bite-size bits.
  • To make the sauce: Put the chocolate, cream, corn syrup and sugar in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts and comes to a light simmer, about 5 minutes. Still stirring, let it burble for a minute or two, then scrape it into a heatproof container. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • To make the sundaes: If necessary, warm the fudge sauce in a double boiler, or microwave on low. For each sundae, sprinkle some salted chocolate bits and almonds in the bottom of a bowl, snifter or sundae glass. Top with a scoop or two of coffee ice cream, some hot fudge sauce, almonds and bits. Finish with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce, whipped cream, almonds and chocolate bits. Serve immediately with a long spoon.

SALTED CARAMEL SUNDAE



Salted Caramel Sundae image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
4 cups plain (not butter-flavored) prepared microwave popcorn, such as Newman's Own Natural
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fleur de sel
Chocolate Sauce, recipe follows
2 pints Talenti Sea Salt Caramel Gelato
Sweetened Whipped Cream, recipe follows
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules, such as Nescafe
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Spread the peanuts on a sheet pan and roast for 7 minutes, until they become fragrant. Pour into a medium bowl, add the popcorn, and set aside. Line the sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a medium (10-inch) saute pan and mix with a fork until all the sugar is moistened. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves--from this point on, don't stir the caramel, swirl the pan! (Don't worry if the mixture looks as though it's crystallizing.)
  • Continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes a clear golden brown, swirling the pan constantly at the end. (Be careful, the caramel is very hot!) Off the heat, quickly add the corn syrup and vanilla (it will bubble up!) and swirl the pan to combine. Working quickly (the caramel will continue to cook in the pan), add the popcorn and nut mixture plus the kosher salt and toss with two large spoons until the popcorn and nuts are completely coated.
  • Pour the mixture plus any extra caramel in the pan onto the prepared sheet pan and spread the mixture out in one layer, pulling it apart with two forks. Sprinkle with the fleur de sel and set aside to cool. When it's completely cooled, carefully break into large clusters with your hands.
  • To serve, pour puddles of Chocolate Sauce into shallow bowls. For each serving, place 3 small scoops of gelato on the chocolate sauce, sprinkle with some of the caramelized popcorn, and add a dollop of the Sweetened Whipped Cream in the middle. Serve immediately.
  • Place the chocolate, cream, corn syrup, and coffee in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Be sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Serve warm.
  • Pour the cream into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on high speed until the cream forms soft peaks.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor. Avoid using chocolate chips, as they contain stabilizers that can prevent the sauce from thickening properly.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Heat the chocolate gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is melted and smooth.
  • Use a heavy saucepan: A heavy saucepan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Add the ingredients in the correct order: Follow the recipe instructions carefully and add the ingredients in the correct order. Adding the ingredients in the wrong order can prevent the sauce from thickening properly.
  • Stir the sauce constantly: Stir the sauce constantly while it is cooking to prevent it from burning or sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: The sauce will thicken as it cools. Let it cool slightly before serving so that it has a chance to thicken up.

Conclusion:

Chocolate crackle sundae sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make topping for sundaes, ice cream, and other desserts. It is also a great way to use up leftover chocolate.
