Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is evenly combined and smooth.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream and light corn syrup. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring continuously.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and continue stirring for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well to combine.
Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before using.
