Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter in a heavy saucepan.
- Add semi-sweet and bittersweet chocolate, powdered sugar, and evaporated milk. Stir continuously for 30 to 40 minutes until smooth and thickened.
- Remove from stove.
- Stir in vanilla and a dash of salt.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother sauce, ensure all chocolate is finely chopped before melting. If you want to reduce sweetness, consider using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. You can also use coconut milk for a dairy-free version, which will give a unique flavor. Stir constantly to prevent burning and achieve the perfect consistency, similar to the texture of Fool Proof Chocolate Fudge.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot fudge sauce over ice cream, pancakes, or brownies for a decadent treat. It pairs beautifully with Vanilla Ice Cream or even with No-Bake Orange Peanut Butter Drops for a delightful dessert spread. For a festive touch, drizzle over seasonal fruits like strawberries or bananas, enhancing both flavor and presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover hot fudge sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To reheat, warm it gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between to maintain a smooth texture. If it thickens too much, stir in a little milk to achieve the desired consistency.
