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.

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.

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
3 cups cream
1/4 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream
Whipped cream
Chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Put everything except the vanilla in a pot and bring it to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Continue cooking until it looks like it is broken and separating; this will take about 30 minutes. Take it off the heat, whisk in the vanilla, and then blend it with a hand blender to smooth it out. Chill until ready to serve then heat it up.
  • Pour over scoops of ice cream, topped with whipped cream, and chopped peanuts.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth and creamy hot fudge sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and stir the ingredients constantly over medium heat.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the hot fudge sauce by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the sauce forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • To make the ice cream sundaes, start with a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Then, add a drizzle of hot fudge sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
  • For a more decadent sundae, try using a variety of toppings, such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
  • If you are making the sundaes ahead of time, store them in the freezer. When you are ready to serve, let them thaw for a few minutes before eating.

Conclusion:

Hot fudge ice cream sundaes are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and satisfying sundae that the whole family will love. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
