How to Make Rich Hot Fudge Sauce
- 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 the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Continue to cook and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer, about 4 minutes.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/4 cup light corn syrup.
- Cook and stir for 3 minutes, or until the cocoa is completely blended and the sauce is smooth.
- Add 8 ounces of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces.
- Continue cooking and stirring for 3-4 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sauce is glossy and smooth.
- Reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer gently for 12-16 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches your desired thickness. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
- Remove the sauce from the heat.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of rum extract (optional).
- Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
- Serve warm over your favorite ice cream, cake, or brownies.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
