Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ((1oz))
  • ½ cup light corn syrup ((4oz))
  • ¼ cup Dutch-process cocoa powder ((28g or 1oz))
  • 6 ounces good quality semi-sweet or bitter sweet chocolate, (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream, (half-and-half or milk)
  • vanilla ice cream
  • whipped cream
  • chopped peanuts, (optional)
  • cherries for garnish

Instruction

  • Pour the sweetened condensed milk, butter, syrup and cocoa powder in a heavy bottom medium saucepan. Heat on medium-low, stirring occasionally until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.
  • Remove from the heat and add the chopped chocolate. Stir until combined. Set aside for 2 or 3 minutes, then stir again and repeat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is velvety smooth.
  • Add the vanilla, salt and cream. Stir until well blended.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate sealed in a jar until needed.
  • To rewarm, microwave on 50% power at 15-second intervals, stirring in between until warmed through. You can also place the sealed jar in a bowl of hot tap water to warm. It takes a bit longer and doesn’t get overly hot, but pours beautifully!
  • Pour the warm hot fudge sauce over scoops of your favorite ice cream. Top with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry. Serve immediately.
