Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 cups sauce

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
3 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup light corn syrup
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, chocolate, and butter over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep the pan over heat, whisking constantly for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to bubble and looks as though it is separating. Remove the sauce from the heat and add the vanilla. Transfer fudge sauce to a dish or container and allow to cool a bit before placing it in the refrigerator. Chill the sauce until it thickens, for at least 5 hours.

    Step 2

    Hot Fudge Sauce can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for approximately 2 weeks.
