Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, semisweet chocolate chips, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Heat the mixture in the microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the butter is melted and the chocolate chips are mostly melted (about 1 to 1.5 minutes total).
Stir the mixture until smooth and all the chocolate chips are fully melted.
Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the bowl and mix thoroughly until combined.
Microwave the mixture again for 30 to 45 seconds to ensure everything is fully warmed and smooth. Stir well to incorporate.
Let the sauce cool slightly to your desired consistency before serving. The hot fudge will thicken as it cools.
Drizzle over ice cream, cakes, or any dessert of your choice. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the microwave before serving.
