Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
In a heavy bottomed saucepan over low heat, bring the cream just to a boil then add the brown sugar and stir just until it dissolves. Add small pieces of butter until mix until completely melted, then stir in the chocolate chips. Wait 3 to 5 minutes so that chocolate is very soft before folding it in with a spatula. Stir in the salt and vanilla extract and blend until well incorporated. Let cool for 15 minutes; it will thicken as it cools.
*Cook's Note: Can be stored up to 1 week in the refrigerator in a glass jar. Heat until warm but not hot, before serving.

This is fudgey and hardens when poured over cold ice cream, which the kids love (think grown-up Magic Shell. I prefer a fudge sauce recipe made with a little corn syrup which is makes it silkier, more like a Baskin Robbins fudge sauce. But it was really good and everyone loved it.

First, let me say that this is not really a fudge sauce--it is a really creamy semi-sweet chocolate sauce. If creamy chocolate chips on a spoon is your idea of heaven this is for you, but if you are looking for a true hot fudge sauce, look elsewhere. Now, I am not so much a dark chocolate lover, and you would think that nearly 3 cups of semi-sweet chips would be my first clue, but I was foolishly thinking the heavy cream and butter would cut the taste more than it did. The other thing is that this recipe is a little unclear about cooking instructions. When do you remove it from the heat? I ended up leaving it on the turned-off burner of my electric stove after adding the sugar until all the ingredients were in. When cooled, there were still some lumps (which disappeared nicely with my submersible blender--love that thing!, but I don't know if that had to do with the heat issue or not.

I can't imagine a more delicious chocolate sauce. Another recipe on this site that received high reviews calls for corn syrup, but no thanks -- this has just what you want and nothing more. Fabulous warmed over ice cream or, wish I didn't know this, by the spoonful from the fridge!
