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.

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 Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter, sliced
Pinch of fine salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
9 ounces good quality bittersweet, or semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In measuring cup with a spout, combine the cream, butter, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, cook the sugar, corn syrup, and water, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Cook until a dark amber color, about 1 to 2 minutes, without stirring. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the cream mixture into the sugar mixture. (Take care, since the sugar will bubble up when the cream is added.) Whisk until smooth.
  • Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream/sugar mixture over the chocolate. Add the vanilla and whisk until smooth. Serve the hot fudge sauce warm.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat over low heat before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect consistency for your honey fudge sauce, use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture. The ideal temperature range for the sauce is between 230°F (110°C) and 235°F (113°C).
  • For a smoother texture, strain the honey fudge sauce through a fine-mesh sieve before using. This will remove any crystallized sugar or impurities.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can reduce it by simmering it for a few minutes longer. Alternatively, if you want a thinner sauce, you can add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • To store the honey fudge sauce, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the sauce for up to 3 months.
  • This sauce is a versatile topping for a variety of desserts, including cakes, ice cream, and pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted vegetables or as a marinade for grilled meats.

Conclusion:

Honey fudge sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make topping that can be used to enhance a variety of desserts and dishes. With its rich, creamy texture and sweet, decadent flavor, this sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
