The Perfect Hot Fudge Sundae: How To Make The Best Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce

 Hot Fudge Sundae

A classic dessert, this hot fudge is a delicious combination of Sundae ice cream and full hot fudge. Put whatever you like on top or go with the classic whipped cream, sprinkles, nuts, and cherries.

One reason for this is that Hot Fudge Sundae is such a durable classic: mixing this mixture of hot, rich chocolate fudge with frozen ice cream and melting it a little is absolutely irresistible. If you have homemade fudge sauce and homemade ice cream at home, then it gets even better. Vanilla ice cream is standard here, but feel free to use your favorite flavors or combinations of flavors. And if you like nuts, use them here in every way. The extra crunch is great against all the creamy textures.

Who is not a fan of delicious chocolate Fudge Sundae? While you can pick up a jar of hot fudge at the store, you can really make your own from your kitchen with just a few simple ingredients! It only takes a few minutes to make this smooth and creamy hot fudge. Also, my homemade version of chocolate sauce has no stabilizers or oils so you can dig into a large bowl of this hot fudge sundae without any hassle.

Even better, you can technically prepare this Sundae ahead of time as the chocolate fudge will be well preserved and can be frozen so that you can enjoy your favorite dessert whenever the desire is over!

• Ice Cream: Feel free to use whatever flavor you have, but mine is the go-to vanilla.
• Toppings: I tend to use classic items: whipped cream, nuts, sprinkles, and cherries.

Ingredients:

1. 3/4 cup heavy cream
2. 1/2 cups light brown sugar
3. 1/3 cups light corn syrup or honey
4. 3 tablespoons Dutch Processed Cocoa
5. 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
7. 7 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 tablespoon brandy etc.

Instruction:

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, boil cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture thicken about 5 minutes. ۔
2. Stir in the chocolate and cook it until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or wine. Allow cooling slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is served hot, not hot.
3. For assembly, make whipped cream. Using a whisk or electric mixer, whisk together the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
4. Put a little fudge sauce in sandy dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then hot fudge, then nuts if using. If you want, cover everyone with whipped cream and cherries. Serve.

For Assembly:

1. 1 cup cold heavy cream
2. 1 tablespoon excellent sugar, for more flavor
3. ½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
4. 2 pints of ice cream with your favorite flavor
5.  Chopped nuts, such as almonds, peanuts, or pecans
6.  Cherries, for garnish

TIPS FOR MAKING THIS RECIPE

1. For all the tips and tricks, check out My Hot Fudge Post.
2. You can also drizzle chocolate fudge around the sides of your glass or bowl before adding ice cream.
3. For an extra cool dessert, you can put your glass or bowl in the freezer in advance.
4. You don't have a can of whipped cream at home? Make your own homemade whipped cream recipe.
5. Transfer the extra fudge sauce to a mason jar and refrigerate for later use, when ready to reheat in a saucepan over medium heat.
6. Adding ¼ cup of corn syrup to the beginning will give you an extra shiny fudge that stays soft at cold temperatures.
7. Feeling extra pleasure? Break up a piece of brownie and add the sauce in the middle or on top of each scoop of ice cream before drizzling.
8. Make sure you keep your ice cream in the freezer until the last minute. Because the fudge is hot, the more it freezes, the slower it will melt when you add fudge.
