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.

Provided by imabadpixie

Time 10m

Yield Makes Portions

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tub (900ml) Carte Dor or other Vanilla Ice Cream.
1 pack (150gish) dutch shortbread buscuits (M&S do these), broken.
2-3 slices of Chocolate Cake or Brownies chopped into bitesize chunks.
100g Dark chocolate, chopped.
15-20 fresh strawberries.
200g plain or milk chocolate
10g butter
100g icing sugar
120ml single cream
2tbs golden syrup

Steps:

  • To Make the Sauce: Melt the chocolate with the butter (you can do this in the mircowave) until there are no lumps. Remember to stir this while heating.
  • Once melted, leave to cool for 5 minutes and then swirl in the cream. If mixture curdles- add more cream. Sift in the icing sugar and stir.
  • When ready to use- put this mixture into a pan and add the syrup. Heat this and stir until the sauce is pourable and add to the sundae (below).
  • Sundae: Put the ingredients into large wine glasses or sundae bowls, varying different layers in. Fill to the top.
  • Pour the warm sauce over the top and spinkle afew biscuit crumbs on top. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the sundae will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
  • Make your own whipped cream. Homemade whipped cream is light and fluffy, and it's easy to make. Simply whip heavy cream with a little sugar and vanilla extract until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Don't skimp on the toppings. The toppings are what really make a German chocolate sundae special. Be generous with the chocolate chips, nuts, and whipped cream.
  • Serve immediately. German chocolate sundaes are best when they're served immediately, so that the ice cream doesn't melt.

Conclusion:

German chocolate sundaes are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and creamy texture, they're sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give German chocolate sundaes a try. You won't be disappointed.
