Remember When?!

Remember back in the day, approximately 50+ years ago, when we would eat hot fudge ice cream sundaes out of these cute little cups? And then there was this oh so dreamy hot fudge topping that would be served on top? That was the best hot fudge ever! Do you remember that?

Today, if you head out to your local ice cream parlor and order a hot fudge chocolate sundae more than likely it will come in a little plastic or heavy paper bowl with a real thin runny chocolate. Not sure really what to call it, maybe a chocolate syrup of some sort. I don’t know but seriously, it’s just not the same as the good ole days. You know that saying, “They don’t make things like they used to”! Well, this recipe here will take you back in time.

Chewy Hot Fudge Sundae Topping Recipe

Bring back memories of the good ole days with this old-fashioned homemade hot fudge topping recipe and relive the days of the ice cream hot fudge sundae!

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate bar (I use Baker’s Premium Bar)
• 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• pinch salt

Instructions:

Using a sharp knife slice chocolate into thin slices. The chocolate will resemble that of shaved chocolate.

In a saucier pan melt butter and chocolate over medium heat. Add corn syrup and stir until well combined.

Add whipping cream to the chocolate mixture while stirring over medium heat. Slowly add sugar and stir until dissolved.

Once sugar has dissolved stop stirring and allow mixture to boil for 5 minutes without stirring.

Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and salt.

Allow mixture to cool and transfer to a glass mason jar.

Serving Homemade Hot Fudge Topping

Serve the homemade fudge topping warm over vanilla ice cream or any ice cream or frozen custard as desired. The topping goes on smooth and as it rests on the frozen ice cream it will begin to get chewy within a few seconds just like the good ole days! Refrigerate leftovers.

Rewarm Hot Fudge Topping

While storing the hot fudge in the refrigerator it will slightly harden. It can easily be warmed in the microwave in 30 second increments until the hot fudge becomes pliable and easy to pour.
