WANTED: Hot Fudge Recipes

[MagickMuffin]

My sister makes a wonderful Hot Fudge Topping for Ice Cream. It's extra gooey and chewy, I don't know how she makes it and we don't communicate anymore, so I can't get it from her.

I've watched her make it before and I know she uses Cocoa and sugar, and I think some form of milk, however, that is the part that has me baffled, is it whole milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk. :shrug: I searched the google and haven't found anything that sounds like the recipe she uses.

Anyone have a good Gooey and Chewy Hot Fudge Topping. I certainly would appreciate the help:blush: It's almost that time of year to crank off the Ice Cream Freezer.

TIA

1. I don't have one, sorry,

but I don't think I've ever seen a recipe for a Hot Fudge Topping.

Now you're gonna have me looking through old cookbooks...............

Good luck, though!

2. I found some recipes but I don't rememeber the corn syrup

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2/3 cup evaporated milk (check the exp. date!)
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine sugar, cocoa evaporated milk and corn syrup together in saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to boil. Boil for 5 minutes to thicken. Make sure you time it from a good rolling boil and not the first few bubbles that will persist for several minutes beforehand. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.

This recipe makes a batch that will fit perfectly in a regular mason jar. Simply reheat in microwave and then pour over ice cream.

3. Maybe

the corn syrup is the "chewy" you're looking for?

Man, that sounds good.............

4. My guess is that she used sweetened, condensed milk

in her recipe and that's where the corn syrup was hidden.

Other than playing with what you know she used, you have few options other than exploring other people's recipes.

5. here's one without milk--nice and fudgy!

Makes 1 1/4 cups:

Hot Fudge Sauce

Stir together in a heavy saucepan:
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 T. flour
3/4 c. unsw. cocoa powder

Stir in:
3/4 c. cold water

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently (Gently is the word! Watch carefully so as not to scorch it at this point.) Simmer, stirring, a few more min to be sure everything is dissolved.

Take off the heat and add:
6 T. butter or margarine

Cool, then add:
1 tsp. vanilla
a pinch of salt

Without having any milk, this is a nice deep chocolaty flavor. And you have dairy in the ice cream already. I think milk just dilutes the chocolate taste.

6. And while I have my recipe card out--Butterscotch Topping

It's a good 'un:

Butterscotch Topping

Stir together in a heavy saucepan:
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 c. light corn syrup
a pinch of salt
2 T. butter or margarine

Bring to a boil and simmer 5 min., stirring occasionally

Cool for 30 min, then stir in:
1/2 c. whipping cream (or half n half will work too)

16. Sounds good, but..............

adding more cream to my recipe for Ice Cream would be kinda over doing it. Yikes, I would really help the economy with having to buy a new wardrobe :rofl:
