Description
This homemade hot fudge sauce is a family favorite. It requires just six ingredients, takes less than ten minutes to prepare, and will keep well in the fridge for a couple of weeks. The perfect summertime treat!
Ingredients
350 milliliters evaporated milk (12-ounce can)
115 grams unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup / 1 stick)
100 grams good-quality chopped dark chocolate (3/4 cup)*
215 grams confectioner’s sugar (2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Instructions
In a saucepan, gently warm the evaporated milk over medium heat.
Add the butter and chocolate, stirring gently until fully melted.
Whisk in the confectioner’s sugar, followed by the salt and vanilla bean paste. Continue whisking until the sugar has been fully incorporated into the sauce.
Raise heat and bring sauce to a boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 6-7 minutes (mixture will thicken as it boils).
Remove from heat. Allow sauce to cool slightly, then use as desired.
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. To serve, gently reheat desired portion in the microwave or on the stovetop over low heat.
Notes
*Good-quality chocolate makes all the difference in this recipe. Choose a chocolate like Callebaut, Valrhona, Lindt, or Guittard, rather than chocolate chips.
