Chocolate Hot Fudge Sauce

Ingredients

• 115 g corn syrup (⅓ cup)
• 100 g packed brown sugar (½ cup)
• 20 g cocoa powder (¼ cup, sifted)
• 160 mL whipping cream (⅔ cup)
• ½ tsp kosher salt or sea salt (or less if that's your preference)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200 g of semisweet chocolate
• 45 g unsalted butter (3 tbsp)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cream, salt and vanilla extract in a medium-sized saucepan.

2. 2

   Heat over medium heat while whisking occasionally until the cocoa powder has dissolved, and you get a smooth mix.

3. 3

   Continue to cook the hot fudge sauce until it comes to a boil. Then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the chocolate chips and butter. Whisk to dissolve.

5. 5

   Transfer the sauce into glass jars and let them cool slightly.

6. 6

   Serve over ice cream while still warm.

7. 7

   Store in the refrigerator, but warm it up gently in the microwave (or in a water bath on the stove), before serving.
