Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Kahlua or coffee liqueur
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the heavy cream, granulated sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder, whisking until fully combined and smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar dissolves and the cocoa powder is evenly incorporated.
Reduce the heat to low and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is glossy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Kahlua, pure vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Allow the fudge topping to cool slightly before using. It will thicken slightly as it cools.
Serve warm over your favorite desserts, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
