Chopped pecans, for topping
1 Chocolate Chip Cookie, recipe follows
Store-bought whipped cream, for topping
1 maraschino cherry
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Pinch of kosher salt
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks
4 ounces good-quality dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
Sea salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Add the vanilla and cookie dough ice cream to a glass ice cream dish or bowl. Top with a generous drizzle of Hot Fudge Sauce and some chopped pecans. Wedge a whole Chocolate Chip Cookie into the dish. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. Enjoy!
  • Combine the cream, corn syrup, sugar, butter, cocoa and salt in a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chocolate and vanilla. Stir until combined and smooth. Serve warm over your favorite ice cream or sundae!
  • Line 3 baking sheets with parchment.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat on medium speed until just combined. Add the flour, baking soda and kosher salt and mix on low speed until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and stir in the chocolate chunks using a wooden spoon or spatula.
  • Use a 1/4-cup scoop to scoop the cookies, making sure to scrape the scoop against the side of the bowl to flatten off the top. Scoop onto the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart to give them space to spread while baking. Sprinkle a pinch or two of sea salt on top of each cookie dough mound. Refrigerate, uncovered, at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake until golden brown, 17 to 18 minutes. Let the cookies cool and crisp up on the baking sheets.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), finely chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Bring cream, corn syrup, sugar, cocoa, salt, and half of chocolate to a boil in a 1 to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat and cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Add butter, vanilla, and remaining chocolate and stir until smooth. Cool sauce to warm before serving.

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate you use will make a big difference in the final flavor of the sauce. Use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize up and become grainy. Heat the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring constantly.
  • Add the cream and butter gradually: Adding the cream and butter all at once can cause the sauce to curdle. Add them gradually, whisking constantly, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Simmer the sauce for a few minutes: Simmering the sauce for a few minutes will help to thicken it and develop its flavor.
  • Serve the sauce immediately: Hot fudge sauce is best served immediately. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat it gently over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

Hot fudge sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping. It can be used on ice cream, brownies, cakes, and even fruit. It's also a great addition to milkshakes and smoothies. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own hot fudge sauce at home. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
