Here’s a rich, luscious Homemade Hot Fudge — perfect for ice cream, brownies, or desserts 🍫🔥
🍫 Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce
Ingredients (Makes about 1½ cups)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- ½ cup light corn syrup (or honey for a natural alternative)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat the base
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, butter, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. - Add chocolate
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth. - Finish with vanilla
Stir in vanilla extract. - Serve warm
Serve immediately over ice cream, brownies, or fruit. For a thicker sauce, let it cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
Tips
- For extra richness, use a mix of semisweet and dark chocolate.
- Add a pinch of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- For a boozy version, stir in 1–2 tsp bourbon or Kahlúa after removing from heat.
I can also give you a quick 5-minute microwave version if you want hot fudge without using the stove.
