HOT FUDGE SAUCE

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.

2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons light syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Remove pan from heat and stir in vanilla and salt. Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 3 weeks. Let sauce cool completely before covering (any condensation will make it grainy). Reheat sauce, uncovered, over simmering water in a double boiler. Serve sauce hot over ice cream.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Stir the sauce constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • If the sauce is too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
