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.

  • You can add a variety of flavors to your hot fudge sauce, such as vanilla extract, coffee extract, or cinnamon. Get creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
  • Hot fudge sauce is best served warm, but it can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat the sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop.
