Grandma Val's Hot Fudge Sauce
Grandma Val's Hot Fudge Sauce is seriously fudgy hot fudge sauce that firms up ever so slightly when poured over ice cream to form caramel-like ribbons of chocolatey goodness. Oh yes. It does. Adapted gently from The Houghton College Community Cookbook submitted by Janet Spegen.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Stir the corn syrup and boiling water together in a heat-proof measuring cup then add to the pan with the sugar.
- Increase heat to medium and stir mixture until it reaches boiling.
- Boil without stirring for 8 minutes. Really. Do not stir that stuff.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. It will bubble up violently, so be careful.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before pouring into a heat-proof container with a tight fitting lid. (A canning jar works perfectly for this situation.) Be certain the container you use is small enough to fit into the microwave for reheating purposes.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator.
To Reheat:
- Remove lid from the jar and microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Stir.
- Heat in additional 10 second bursts until the hot fudge flows freely when poured.
