How to Make Mean Old Hot Fudge
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until butter is completely melted.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Continue to cook and stir until sugars are fully dissolved, approximately 4 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup corn syrup.
- Use a wire whisk to ensure the cocoa powder is thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the cocoa is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add 4 ounces of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate squares, chopped.
- Cook and stir until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is glossy.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon rum extract (optional).
- Allow the fudge to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
- Serve warm over your favorite ice cream.
- Refrigerate leftover fudge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
