As Promised!
Amazing Hot Fudge Sauce
|
3 squares (1
ounce each) unsweetened baking chocolate
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 pinches salt
Put the chocolate,
butter, and heavy cream in a 4-cup glass measure. Microwave, uncovered, on
high, until the chocolate and butter are nearly melted, about 2 minutes,
stopping once halfway through to stir. Remove from the microwave, and stir
until the chocolate and butter finish melting.
Stir in the
sugar. Microwave 1 minute, uncovered, on high. Remove and stir well with a wire
whisk. If the sauce is grainy, microwave just until the sugar melts, 30 seconds
to 1 minute more. Do not overcook. Whisk to stir well.
Whisk in the
vanilla extract and salt, and let the mixture cool a little. Serve warm or at
room temperature.*
* Notes
Sauce can be
refrigerated, covered for up to 2 weeks. Or frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in
refrigerator and reheat in microwave, uncovered, on high, until warmed through,
about 1 minute.
