How to Make Chocolate Fudge Sauce With Variations

  1. In a double boiler or heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Stir constantly until the butter and sugar are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Add 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped, to the warm cream mixture.
  4. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of brandy (optional) a little at a time. Let the sauce cool to room temperature.
  6. **For White Chocolate Orange Sauce:** Repeat steps 1-5, but use 8 ounces of white chocolate, 1 tablespoon grated orange zest, and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur instead of brandy.
  7. **For Coffee Chocolate Fudge Sauce:** Repeat steps 1-5, using 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur or rum, and 1 teaspoon coffee extract (stirred in at the end).
  8. Serve your chosen sauce warm over your favorite dessert – ice cream, profiteroles, cakes, or anything you desire!
