Overview:

Indulge in the seductive embrace of this Bittersweet Hot Fudge Sauce, a dangerous liaison of rich chocolate and creamy vanilla. It’s a match made in dessert heaven, perfectly complementing ice-cold vanilla ice cream, decadent eclairs, or fresh, juicy berries. With just a few simple steps, you can whip up a batch of this irresistible sauce that will elevate any sweet treat to new heights of deliciousness.

Ingredients:

  • 24 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 8 oz half-and-half or light cream
  • 3 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 gallon vanilla ice cream

Instructions:

Step Description
1 In a 4-quart Dutch oven, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate, half-and-half or light cream, and sugar.
2 Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low.
3 Allow the mixture to simmer, uncovered, for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently until it becomes creamy and smooth.
4 Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, ensuring it’s well incorporated.
5 Carefully pour the hot fudge sauce into hot, clean half-pint or 4-ounce jars, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace at the top.
6 Place metal lids on the jars, then screw on the metal bands according to the manufacturer’s directions.
7 Store the jars of chocolate sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Note: Even though the lids may seal, it’s not a secure canning seal, so refrigeration is necessary.
8 Serve the sauce warm over scoops of vanilla ice cream, drizzle it over freshly baked eclairs, or spoon it onto a bowl of vibrant berries.

Tips:

  • To reheat the sauce, place 1/2 cup in a microwave-safe glass measure and microwave it, uncovered, on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Alternatively, you can heat it in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring continuously until it’s warmed through.
  • Experiment with different variations of chocolate, such as dark or milk chocolate, to customize the flavor to your liking.
  • Get creative with serving suggestions; this versatile sauce pairs well with various desserts, from classic sundaes to homemade pastries.
