Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups packed brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cups butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt until well combined and free of lumps.
Slowly add the heavy cream, whisking constantly until fully incorporated into the dry ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring constantly.
Once the sugar has dissolved and the sauce starts to thicken (about 4-5 minutes), reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until completely melted and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stove before serving.
