Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 6 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the base ingredients. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate, granulated sugar, heavy cream, light corn syrup, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
  2. Whisk together until smooth. Whisk the mixture together until the chocolate is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
  3. Bring to a boil. Whisk occasionally and allow the mixture to come to a boil.
  4. Boil for three minutes. Once boiling, let it boil for 3 minutes while continuing to whisk occasionally.
  5. Check the temperature. The hot fudge is done when it reaches 220°F (104°C).
  6. Finish off the sauce. Immediately remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the softened butter and pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
  7. Use right away. Use the sauce immediately for ice cream or other desserts.
  8. Store leftovers. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  9. Reheat gently. Warm it over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Notes

For a slightly different flavor, try adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder or an extra teaspoon of vanilla.
