When I had these ingredients on hand I would make this sauce for my husband instead of using the good old standby “Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup”. Ice cream was a favorite dessert and something I always had in the freezer. There is a difference, homemade has a much smoother chocolate taste. I also have a Weight Watcher’s recipe which is not too bad and of course less calories; 2 points per tablespoon.
Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
In a heavy saucepan, combine the chocolate and butter; stir over low heat until melted. Add the sugar and gradually stir in the whipping cream. Bring to boiling on medium heat ; reduce heat and boil for 5 minutes (once it comes to a full boil, start counting). Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, top with some whipping cream, perhaps a few nuts and a cherry.
