How to Make Classic Hot Fudge Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar. Stir continuously until completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until completely smooth and no lumps remain. Whisk vigorously to prevent clumping.
- Serve immediately over your favorite ice cream or dessert. For a richer flavor, let it cool slightly before serving.
