Ingredients for Bailey S Hot Fudge Sauce

How to Make Bailey S Hot Fudge Sauce

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate squares, stirring occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  2. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/3 cup evaporated milk to the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk vigorously until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Stir in the remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar and 2/3 cup evaporated milk. Whisk until completely smooth and well incorporated.
  4. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened slightly and is glossy. Do not boil.
  5. Remove from heat and let the hot fudge sauce cool slightly. Pour into sterilized canning jars or airtight containers. Allow to cool completely before sealing and refrigerating.
  6. This recipe can easily be doubled to make a larger batch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
