HOT FUDGE SAUCE



Hot Fudge Sauce image

I first had this in a coffeehouse in Highwood Illinois in the 60's where my dad, my brother and I used to play folk music on stage. I was 6 or 7 at the time. I used to make this recipe at the Pump Room when I was pastry chef there in a 5 gallon bucket. We served "the World's Smallest Hot Fudge Sundae" (another one of Rich Melman's brilliant ideas) there which used only 2 tablespoons of sauce and still I had to make it every other day!

Pour over scoops of ice cream, topped with whipped cream and chopped peanuts.

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.

Categories     condiments, ice creams and sorbets, dessert

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate in small pieces
1 1/4 cups sifted high-fat Dutch-process cocoa like Valrhona, Pernigotti or Droste (sift, then measure)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan, combine cream, butter, sugars and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer 45 seconds. Add chocolate, and whisk to dissolve. Remove from heat, add cocoa, and whisk until no lumps remain.
  • Return pan to low heat, and simmer sauce until glossy, whisking constantly, 20 seconds. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Serve warm. To reheat sauce, warm in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Do not boil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will directly impact the taste of your hot fudge sauce. Opt for a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become grainy. Be patient and stir the chocolate constantly over low heat until it is melted and smooth.
  • Add a little bit of salt: A pinch of salt can help to balance out the sweetness of the hot fudge sauce and give it a more complex flavor.
  • Use heavy cream instead of milk: Heavy cream will make your hot fudge sauce richer and creamier. If you don't have heavy cream on hand, you can use a combination of milk and butter.
  • Add a flavoring agent: You can add a variety of flavoring agents to your hot fudge sauce to create different flavor combinations. Some popular options include vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Serve immediately: Hot fudge sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store it, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Hot fudge sauce is a delicious and versatile dessert topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, including ice cream, brownies, and cakes. It is also a great way to add a touch of sweetness and richness to your favorite drinks, such as coffee and hot chocolate. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own hot fudge sauce at home. So next time you're craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try.
