Cocoa Hot Fudge Sauce-just simple ingredients make this family favorite topping.
Sure I might have other flavors of chips like peanut butter or butterscotch. Those just won’t do when you want hot fudge though. That’s not to say you can’t make a yummy topping with those chips, it just won’t be chocolate.
In case of an emergency, I wanted to have a good recipe to make Hot Fudge Sauce using cocoa. No baking chocolate, no chocolate chips, no fancy ingredients someone might not have on hand. Well, maybe you wouldn’t have heavy cream on hand but whole milk works just fine for this recipe. I’ve made this with all three, the cream, half and half and the milk. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. So use what you have.

In a 2 quart saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and milk, stirring with a whisk until completely combined and smooth.
Turn heat on stove to medium and stirring occasionally, bring to a boil.
Stir in butter and continue to boil until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and salt. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving over ice cream. Store in container in the refrigerator. To reheat, microwave for 30 seconds at a time until warm.
Perfect for ice cream, over cake, with fruit or stir it into your morning coffee!

I buy butter when it’s on sale and my hubby always complains that it’s taking up all of the fridge but you can freeze it and it stays fresh longer. I’d love to make this recipe. It’s a lot better than Hershey’s syrup in the can. Pinned.
Hot Fudge Sauce, looks easy to make, Pinned!
This looks incredible! Must make it soon!
My daughter would want me to make her about a gallon of this
I'm Joan and I live in a small town in Georgia where kids still say ‘yes ma’am and ‘no sir’ and the food is mostly cooked from scratch. I’m lucky enough to be mom to CJ, Cassie and Grace which means that, in addition to cooking, I also work as a taxi service, homework checker, laundry doer, housecleaner and gardener. Although, to be honest I try to avoid those last two as much as possible.
