CLASSIC HOT FUDGE SUNDAE

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.

Time 22m

Yield 4 servings

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped (you can use morsel if you don't want to chop chocolate)
1/2 cup very strong black coffee

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Tips:

  • Use the best quality ingredients you can find. Fresh, ripe fruit, rich chocolate, and creamy vanilla ice cream will make all the difference in the taste of your sundae.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try adding a scoop of peanut butter ice cream to your chocolate sundae, or topping your vanilla sundae with fresh berries.
  • Make sure your ice cream is nice and cold before you start assembling your sundae. This will help to prevent it from melting too quickly.
  • If you're using a store-bought hot fudge sauce, be sure to heat it up before using. This will help to make it smooth and pourable.
  • Be generous with your toppings! A sundae is all about indulgence, so don't be afraid to load it up with whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, or whatever else you like.
