World’s Best Hot Fudge Sauce
With summer right around the corner, I’m taken back to Sunday family outings to a sandwich and ice cream shop with the most amazing sundaes. While I think the ice cream was good, what really stands out in my memory was the hot fudge. In today’s foodie world, its all about the ice cream – slow churned, local, organic, exotic flavors – but when it comes to sundaes all you need is really good hot fudge. Bad hot fudge can leave you sharing your fountain dish with your brother.
Surprising really good hot fudge isn’t hard to make. Who knew?
My favorite recipe is from Maida Heatter’s New Book of Great Desserts adapted slightly by a good family friend and amazing chef, Joanne Donsky. You’ll want to eat this straight of the jar its so good.
1 c. heavy cream
6 Tb. Unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2/3 c. granulated sugar
2/3 c. light brown sugar, firmly packed
Pinch of salt
1 c. strained Dutch-process cocoa powder (this can be found at any supermarket – Hershey’s even makes this kind of cocoa)
1 tsp. vanilla
Put      the cream and butter in a heavy saucepan over moderate heat. Stir until      the butter is melted and the cream just comes to a low boil. Add both      sugars and stir for a few minutes until they are dissolved. (The best test      is to taste until you don’t feel any undissolved granules in your mouth.      But be careful – it will be hot!)
Reduce      heat. Add salt and cocoa and stir briskly with a whisk until mixture is      smooth. Add vanilla. Remove from the heat.
Optional      Extra Step: Put the mixture through a strainer to make it smooth.
Serve      immediately over ice cream.
Do ahead: Put sauce in a straight-sided glass jar and refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove the top of the jar and microwave the sauce until hot.
Makes 2 cups, enough for 6 to 8 servings. 

sounds very good. imma try it one of these days :)
