Homemade hot fudge sauce has the ability to turn any moment into a celebration. Pour hot fudge over a scoop of store-bought ice cream and suddenly the everyday treat feels like an occasion. Keeping a jar on hand means you can host impromptu ice cream parties at any moment; even if just for yourself. But homemade hot fudge sauce can be surprisingly fussy to make, and when the siren call of an ice cream sundae beckons on a hot summer day, the last thing you want to do is cook over a hot stove. That’s where this simplified version saves the day. It reformulates traditional hot fudge sauce into something that comes together in less than 10 minutes. It’s fudgy, glossy, and truly a cinch to throw together.
Quick-and-Easy Hot Fudge Sauce
My Quick-and-Easy Hot Fudge Sauce prioritizes ease over tradition. Many classic recipes are made by cooking sugar with heavy cream, butter, and cocoa powder to an exact temperature, then adding chocolate and carefully cooking it. If the mixture gets too hot, the chocolate scalds and ruins the batch. And if the sugar is not cooked enough during the initial phases, the sauce will be too loose. It’s a process that is anything but foolproof, requiring a candy thermometer, constant attention, and fearless attitude toward bubbling hot sugar. But this simplified version forgoes the sugar-cooking process and treats the hot fudge more like ganache than a confection.
Ganache, a combination of cream and chocolate, relies on a specific ratio of liquid to chocolate to create a desired consistency. A larger amount of chocolate results in a stiff, truffle-like consistency, while lower amounts will produce a thick hot-chocolate-like texture. However, ganache has a tendency to firm up when cold, which means that it loses its free-flowing, gooey texture the moment it comes in contact with ice cream. By swapping out the cream with corn syrup, the ganache transforms into an almost instant hot fudge. It becomes soft and spoonable when both cold and hot, solving the textural issue of trying to use ganache in place of true hot fudge.
To make this no-fuss version, a combination of milk, salt, vanilla extract, and corn syrup gets heated until simmering, then poured over chocolate chips and whisked until smooth. Don’t feel like turning on your stove burner? You can heat the milk mixture right in the microwave. When combined with the chocolate, the mixture remains pourable at any texture. The corn syrup gives the sauce a sticky, glossy sheen and provides a flowing, impossibly smooth texture that drapes over scoops of ice cream without ever hardening. You can stash it in your fridge, heat it up in the microwave, and pour it over ice cream anytime you need a quick pick-me-up.
Microwave Hot Fudge Sauce
Beyond the obvious, the sauce makes a great addition to any beverage that would benefit from a pop of sweet chocolaty flavor. You can stir it into warm milk for a quick hot chocolate, or combine it with chilled soda water and milk for a classic egg cream. To truly flaunt your homemade sauce, pouring it over scoops of ice cream rested atop slices of banana is a guaranteed showstopper. Keeping a batch of hot fudge sauce in your refrigerator means that impromptu ice cream socials or retro chocolaty sips are never far from reach.
