Ingredients

  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate I use Bakers 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

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

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

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

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

  5. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and salt.

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

  7. 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 getchewy within a few seconds just like the good ole days! Refrigerate leftovers.

  8. 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.

  9. Enjoy!
