Ultimate Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce

Four ingredients to heaven on a spoon – the world’s best hot fudge sauce, easy to make and keeps forever!

This recipe is a long standing Wales family tradition – made for the holidays, and I’m bringing it back for summer, and the rest of the year!  This is the ultimate hot fudge sauce you can make ahead, and keep for weeks in the fridge.  Easy and honestly, to die for delicious.  Make this – today.  You will thank me.

I have tripled the original recipe here, mostly because it goes fast in this house, but also for gifts.  After an incredibly challenging year for everyone, I’m planning to give some of this to my kids teachers as a small token of appreciation.  You can buy mason jars in flats everywhere these days, so grab some, fill them up, and share some chocolate love!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 6 oz bittersweet baking chocolate
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate together stirring until smooth. Add the sugar, stirring until completely dissolved into the mixture. Remove from the heat, and whisk the heavy cream into the chocolate until fully blended - it will be silky smooth and amazingly declious! This keeps in the fridge forever, so make extra.

Notes

I have tripled the original recipe for this post - it's the amount I always make, as the sauce makes a great gift.  This year, some very deserving teachers may find this on their desk.  Pour into mason jars with lids and refrigerate until ready to use.  Feel free to cut back on the amount if you are keeping it all to yourself.
This is a Wales Family special tradition that is made every year for the holidays.  I make it all year round, and often, as you kind of always need hot fudge sauce on hand.
