Hot Fudge Sauce

Source of Recipe

From "Williams-Sonoma: Cooking at Home"


Recipe Introduction

A decadent topping for ice cream, this sauce can be prepared up to 1 week in advance and stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. To use, reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until warm and smooth.

List of Ingredients

½ cup heavy cream
½ cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup confectioners' sugar
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


Recipe

In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the cream, butter, corn syrup, and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes.

Add the chocolate to the pan and stir until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.

Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
Let cool slightly before using.


Makes about 2½ cups
