# 59 Hot Fudge Sauce

What is better on homemade vanilla ice cream than homemade hot fudge?  Yummy!

Hot Fudge Sauce

6 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1/2 stick butter
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. vanilla

1. Set up a make-shift double boiler. I used a stainless steel bowl over a pan of simmering water.

And I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet.

 

2. Add ingredients to your bowl and stir the mixture until it is smooth and lump-free, 1-3 minutes.

3. Add your sauce to a small mason jar to store. It will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to a month. To reheat, place jar in a bowl of hot water and stir until softened or reheat in microwave.

 

This hot fudge is so good. The higher quality chocolate and cocoa you use will make it even better. Store bought is made with lots of high fructose corn syrup and preservatives. This homemade is seriously soooo much better, you will never buy it again.
