Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces Bittersweet chocolate (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk together until smooth and uniform in texture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and stir in the chopped bittersweet chocolate. Continue stirring until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and kosher salt. Mix well to ensure the sauce is evenly flavored.
Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
