Time 1h

Yield 4 sundaes

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup boiling water
Cinnamon Hot Fudge Sauce, recipe follows
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving
Cherries, for topping
2 cups sugar
2 cups heavy cream
2 cups cocoa powder
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt and set aside. In another bowl, add the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Mix with a fork and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa and whisk to combine. Pour the boiling water into the melted butter mixture in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth.
Pour the batter into 4 ovensafe 6-inch skillets (unbuttered) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
Drizzle the cakes with Cinnamon Hot Fudge Sauce and top with scoops of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream and a cherry.
Add the sugar, cream, cocoa, butter and cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the butter melts, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar and store in the fridge. (The sauce will harden as it cools, so reheat in a pan over medium heat when ready to use.)

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
½ cup cocoa
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan. Set aside.
Combine sugar, cocoa and milk in a medium saucepan. Stir to blend, then bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer. Do not stir again.
Place candy thermometer in pan and cook until temperature reaches 238 degrees F(114 degrees C). If you are not using a thermometer, then cook until a drop of this mixture in a cup of cold water forms a soft ball. Feel the ball with your fingers to make sure it is the right consistency. It should flatten when pressed between your fingers.
Remove from heat. Add butter or margarine and vanilla extract. Beat with a wooden spoon until the fudge loses its sheen. Do not under beat.
Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into about 60 squares.

Tips:

Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, measure and chop all of your ingredients so that they're ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to stir and cook the fudge without it sticking or burning.
Cook the fudge over medium heat: Medium heat will help the fudge to cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
Stir the fudge constantly: Stirring the fudge constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the skillet and will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
Don't overcook the fudge: The fudge is done when it has reached a soft-ball stage, which means that a small amount of the fudge dropped into cold water will form a soft ball that can be easily picked up with your fingers.
Let the fudge cool completely before cutting it: This will help the fudge to set and will make it easier to cut into pieces.

Conclusion:

Mexican skillet fudge is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a rich and flavorful fudge that will satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give Mexican skillet fudge a try!
