It came out well; very rich in flavour. I only wished it was a little runny in consistency. How can I make the sauce a little thin now that I've made it? Any suggestions? Thanks.
This hot hot fudge is easy to make, to serve and to reheat. We halved the recipe and served the sauce over Hagan Das vanilla ice cream. Friends commented on how flavorful it was. I commented on how easy it was to make. The sauce doesn't harden, become a slab but stays "like a sauce." I used 70% bittersweet Scharffenberger chocolate and Droste cocao.
this is easy to make thinner: just add more cream, or even a little milk as it's rich enough to take it. you can add this at the beginning of the recipe. or when rewarming it. start with 1/4 cup more and see if that satisfies you. you could also add 1/4 cup of your favorite liqueur if you like- that would change the flavor (add it as the last step and skip the vanilla) of course....but would thin it out.
So easy to make. I used guittard bittersweet chocolate and droste cacao. I will half the recipe next time and try different brands of chocolate and cacao.
How can you store this recipe?
A superior yet simple recipe! Deep, rich flavor. 5 stars for sure!
