Description
A rich and smooth hot fudge sauce made with semi sweet chocolate, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and alcohol free vanilla flavor. Perfect for topping ice cream, brownies, or any dessert that needs a warm chocolate finish.
Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon alcohol free vanilla flavor such as Simply Organic Alcohol Free or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor
Instructions
1. Add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips to a saucepan and heat over medium while stirring so they melt evenly.
2. Continue stirring until the chocolate blends smoothly with the condensed milk and the mixture becomes silky.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until it melts completely.
4. Stir in the alcohol free vanilla flavor until fully combined.
5. Transfer the hot fudge to a clean jar and use while warm or let it thicken slightly before serving.
6. For reheating place the jar in the microwave in short intervals while stirring to return it to a pourable consistency.
Notes
This sauce thickens naturally as it cools and softens again when warmed.
Salted or unsalted butter both work well depending on your preferred flavor balance.
Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator and heat gently before serving.
The texture becomes firmer when cold which is normal so warm slowly to restore its smoothness.
