Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 14 ounces (396 grams) sweetened condensed milk

Dairy and Butter:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Serving Suggestion:

  • O Organic Ice Cream

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients: 14 ounces (397 grams) of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (170 grams) of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of unsalted butter. Prepare a medium saucepan for cooking.
  2. Pour the sweetened condensed milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the saucepan, positioning it over medium-low heat.
  3. Continuously whisk the ingredients together, ensuring constant movement to prevent scorching and promote even melting of the chocolate chips.
  4. As the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated, introduce the unsalted butter, stirring persistently until the butter completely dissolves and blends with the chocolate mixture.
  5. Maintain gentle heat while stirring frequently, allowing the sauce to develop a rich, glossy consistency. The sauce will naturally thicken as it cools, so avoid overcooking.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the hot fudge sauce rest for 2-3 minutes to slightly cool and stabilize its texture.
  7. Generously drizzle the warm, velvety hot fudge sauce over premium organic ice cream, creating a decadent dessert experience.

  • Temperature Control Matters: Gently heat ingredients over low flame, stirring constantly to prevent burning and maintain a smooth, silky texture throughout the cooking process.
  • Customize Your Creation: Feel free to experiment by adding a splash of espresso, vanilla extract, or a pinch of sea salt to transform the basic hot fudge sauce into a personalized culinary masterpiece.
  • Essential Kitchen Tools: A heavy-bottomed saucepan and a sturdy whisk are your best friends when crafting this luxurious sauce, ensuring even heating and perfect consistency.
  • Ingredient Interaction Secrets: Watch how chocolate and butter melt together, creating a magical blend that transforms simple ingredients into an irresistible topping for desserts.
