Grandma’s Recipe

Hooray for Hot Fudge Sundae day! Our lip-smacking recipe for this Hot Fudge Sauce originated with my Grandma Gladys Greer, of St. Johns, Arizona. She boiled it for 3 minutes then used it to quickly frosted a delicious chocolate cake. Grandma’s chocolate cake was a stand out! My mom, my sisters and I have continued Grandma Gladys’s tradition by boiling the recipe only one minute and using it as hot fudge sauce.

This sauce is chocolaty, smooth and silky. It’s the perfect topping for ice cream. We love a good hard vanilla ice cream (like Breyer’s Natural Vanilla). The contrast of flavors and temperatures between the chocolate and vanilla, and the hot and cold is addicting. And, it’s so easy!

easy hot fudge sauce simmering

To make this easy recipe. you combine five ingredients and stir them over medium heat. You want to bring the sauce to a boil, then let it continue a good rolling boil for one full minute and remove it from the heat.

Do you like your sauce thick or thin?

You can text the firmness of your hot fudge sauce by putting a spoon, with a little fudge on it, into a cup of ice water. The firmness you feel when the sauce hits the ice water will show you how the sauce will be on your ice cream. I tend to like my sauce like a soft caramel sauce. If you want your sauce thinner, just add 1-2 tablespoons more evaporated milk.

Easily my favorite dessert

This is probably my favorite dessert. What could be better than a hot fudge sundae? It’s also my go-to dessert when I have dinner guests. I keep a half gallon of vanilla ice cream in my freezer, then I can whip up some hot fudge sauce in a couple of minutes. Sometimes we elevate this dessert by adding brownies for a hot fudge brownie sundae! Could it get any better?

Enjoy!
