The addition of extra chocolate into our chocolate hot fudge sauce gives it a thicker, more fudge-like consistency. It’s ooey gooey and delicious on top of ice cream!

With just a few minutes of your time, you’ll have a hearty batch that can keep for months in the refrigerator. Just warm it up in the microwave or on the stove for a few seconds before you smother that sundae.

Even more convenient—you can stir any leftovers into milk for a nice glass of chocolate milk. Or, heat it up for a comforting cup of hot cocoa.

This chocolate hot fudge is also perfect for topping on cookies, cakes, fruit and many of your other favorite desserts.

Instructions
 

  • Add the butter, evaporated milk and sugar into a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan and place over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the butter is completely melted, then whisk in the cocoa, chocolate chips and salt.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer and bubble gently for 6 minutes. Stir the mixture frequently to prevent the sauce from scorching on the bottom of the pan.
  • After 6 minutes, remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into a blender. Purée for about 1 minute, until the sauce has a nice glossy sheen and a silky-smooth texture.
  • Pour the sauce into a glass container with an airtight lid. Serve immediately while it is still warm or store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use. Enjoy!
