How to Make Old Fashioned Hot Fudge Sauce
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter together over moderately low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup light corn syrup and continue to stir until well combined.
- Add 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over moderate heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, WITHOUT stirring, for exactly 8 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
- Let the sauce cool completely before covering and refrigerating. Cooling completely prevents a grainy texture.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Reheat gently in a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Do not overheat.
