Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Dark brown sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and dark brown sugar to break up any lumps.

Step 2

Add heavy cream, unsalted butter, and light corn syrup to the saucepan. Place over medium heat.

Step 3

Whisk constantly as the mixture heats up. Once the butter has melted completely and the ingredients are fully combined, bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 4

Allow the sauce to boil for 1-2 minutes, ensuring you continue whisking to prevent burning or sticking.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Allow the hot fudge sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream if necessary to adjust the consistency.
