HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Hot Fudge Sauce image

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.

CREAM PUFFS WITH ICE CREAM AND HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Cream Puffs with Ice Cream and Hot Fudge Sauce image

The name for these cream puffs, profiteroles, is old French for "small gifts"; serving them today still makes everyone feel special.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces, plus more for baking sheets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash
2 to 3 pints vanilla ice cream, for serving
Hot Fudge Sauce for Cream Puffs with Ice Cream

Steps:

  • Make the dough: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. with racks in upper and lower thirds. Butter two large rimmed baking sheets.
  • Combine butter, 1 cup water, and salt in a 2-quart heavy saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until butter melts. Reduce heat to medium.
  • Add flour; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball, 30 seconds to 1 minute (see Cook's Note). Remove from heat; cool 1 minute.
  • With an electric handheld mixer, beat in eggs, a little bit at a time, until completely incorporated (dough should look shiny and be soft enough to slowly fall off a spoon).
  • Bake the puffs: Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets (you should have 24 to 28), about 2 inches apart. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush puffs with egg wash (do not let it drip on sheets).
  • Bake, rotating sheets between racks halfway through, until puffed and brown, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; turn oven off.
  • With a toothpick, poke a hole in each puff. Return to oven (still off) for 10 minutes (this helps puffs dry out).
  • Fill the puffs: When cool, halve each puff horizontally with a serrated knife.
  • Working in batches (to prevent ice cream from melting), place a small scoop of ice cream (2 to 3 tablespoons) in each bottom half. Replace tops; press gently. Arrange on one rimmed baking sheet; freeze until firm. Cover with plastic wrap; freeze up to 2 days.
  • Arrange 3 filled puffs in each of eight shallow bowls; drizzle with warm Hot Fudge Sauce. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the fudge sauce from scorching.
  • Stir the sauce constantly: This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing and the sauce from becoming lumpy.
  • Cook the sauce to the right temperature: The sauce should reach a temperature of 234°F (112°C). If the sauce is too hot, it will be too thick and difficult to pour. If the sauce is not hot enough, it will be too thin and runny.
  • Let the sauce cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the sauce from being too hot to eat.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator: The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Fudge sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping that can be used on ice cream, cakes, brownies, and more. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With these tips, you can make perfect fudge sauce every time.
