I spend time testing every single recipe I share, and that includes homemade hot fudge sundaes. I’ve made these so many times for my family, and now I’m sharing my perfected recipe with you, including a hot fudge sauce with the perfect consistency that takes this up a notch!
Place the chocolate chips in a small mixing bowl or dish. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
1/2 cup (118ml) heavy cream, 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
Pour the mixture over the chocolate chips and add in the butter. Allow the mixture to sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir to combine.
3/4 cup (129g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 Tbsp butter
As the sauce cools, it will thicken. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. To reheat, place your desired amount of hot fudge in a small microwave safe container and microwave for 15-20 seconds, or longer as needed.
