Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients needed for this recipe. Measure out the evaporated milk, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, chocolate chips, and liqueur if using.
-
Combine Milk, Chocolate, and Sugar: In a medium saucepan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, and semisweet chocolate chips. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5 minutes.
-
Remove from Heat: Once the mixture reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat. Be sure to keep stirring to prevent the chocolate from burning.
-
Add Butter and Vanilla: Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the sauce is smooth and creamy. The butter will melt into the hot mixture, enriching it with flavor and adding to its luxurious texture.
-
Optional Liqueur: For an extra depth of flavor, you can add a tablespoon of liqueur of your choice to the sauce. This step is optional but highly recommended for those who enjoy a hint of alcohol in their desserts.
-
Cool and Store: Allow the fudge sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Store the sauce covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
