Hot fudge is the perfect capstone to any decadent dessert. It's rich, creamy, sweet without being too cloying. Best of all, it's incredibly easy to make, requiring only a few basic ingredients.

Syrup hot fudge

  1. Add heavy whipping cream and syrup to a saucepan and combine over medium-low heat. The syrup you add to this recipe will keep the hot fudge from getting hard when it hits something cold, like ice cream. If you decide that you want your fudge to get hard when it hits cold ice cream, substitute the syrup for extra sugar, or try removing the syrup altogether for a slightly less sugary fudge.
    • You may choose either golden syrup or corn syrup. Golden syrup is made from sugar cane, while corn syrup is made from — you guessed it — corn. Golden syrup has a richer, more complex flavor profile than corn syrup, although it's more expensive. In America, most corn syrup is genetically modified.
  2. Add the cocoa powder, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to the cream and syrup, stirring until combined. Stir with a heavy-duty whisk until all the ingredients are combined and the liquid has taken on a distinctly chocolate color.
  3. Continue cooking liquid until it just begins to simmer, about 2 or 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the burner.
    • If you can, make sure the temperature of the liquid does not exceed 240° F (115° C). This will ensure that hot fudge doesn't seize up and become hard. In sugar boiling points, this is known as a soft boil. If the liquid exceeds 240° F, it will go into a hard boil and the sugar will become firmer. For hot fudge, this is not ideal.
  4. Add the butter and chocolate to the pot. Stir to incorporate. As the fudge begins to cool, it will thicken up, although it will still retain its liquid form.
  5. Add any additional flavorings to the fudge. At this point, the fudge will taste amazing. But if you want to spice it up a bit by adding something exotic, sweet, or refreshing, here are some suggestions. Only 1 teaspoon of any of the following is needed:
    • Orange or mint oil
    • Lavender oil
    • Rum
    • Vanilla extract/essence
  6. Serve and enjoy! Serve over a sundae, a regular old scoop of homemade ice-cream, or even waffles for a decadent treat.

Toasted coconut hot fudge

  1. Add the butter, chocolate chips, condensed milk and chocolate chips to a small saucepan.
  2. Gently melt the ingredients together over a low-medium heat. Do not bring to a boil.
  3. Stir constantly. This will prevent burning and also helps the melting process. Keep stirring until the sauce turns smooth.
  4. Remove from the heat. At this stage, you have two options:
    • Serve immediately.
    • Pour into a sterilized jar with an airtight lid. Place in the refrigerator and use as needed (simply reheat when you want to use it).

Hot chocolate fudge sauce

  1. Pour the evaporated milk into a heavy-based saucepan. Add the chocolate chips and sugar.
  2. Warm gently over medium heat, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until the chocolate melts and the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Remove from the heat. Add the butter and vanilla. Stir the butter until it melts.
  4. Let stand to cool for 5 minutes.
  5. Serve. Pour over ice cream, dessert pie or other sweet treats, as needed. This will add a very chocolatey flavor.
    • Store unused hot sauce in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Reheat to reuse.
