Quick Hot Fudge Sauce
This decadent quick hot fudge sauce is sweetened with honey and absolutely and amazingly delicious. I'd say dangerously so, especially since it's only about 5 minutes away from your tummy at any given time.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (about 1 ⅓ cups) dark bittersweet chocolate chips see note
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ to ½ cup (4 to 6 ounces) raw honey see note
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, stir together the chocolate chips, heavy cream, butter, and honey. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, 3-5 minutes. Stir and watch carefully so mixture does not overheat and scorch.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
-
Use immediately or store the sauce in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. Reheat in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly just until heated (be careful not to heat to quickly or too much) or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds at a time.
Recipe Notes
1. I use the Ghiradelli brand of dark chocolate chips in this recipe, but feel free to use whatever type of chocolate you like. Sometimes I don't feel like measuring and throw in the whole 10-ounce bag and the chocolate sauce is a little thicker, but still totally rocks my socks.
2. The amount of honey varies depending on the sweetness of the chocolate you use. Start with ⅓ cup and then taste and add more if it is not sweet enough. I use about 4.5 to 5 ounces of honey with the Ghirardelli brand of dark chocolate chips.
