Hot Fudge Sauce




The weekend is finally here! It's time to relax and enjoy a yummy treat. But the weather is warming up and the week was crazy and you don't feel like baking, right? Gotcha. Why not buy some ice cream at the grocery store and whip up some homemade hot fudge sauce? That's what I did for mother's day. My husband grilled steak, and for dessert, we had Blue Bell Cookies & Cream ice cream with this sauce. It was pure, creamy, chocolate bliss. This hot fudge can also be used as a fondue; the next day my kids dipped strawberries and pretzels in it as an after school snack--yum. 

Hot Fudge Sauce

1/4 cup Butter
1/2 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Evaporated Milk
3/4 cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
1 teaspoon Vanilla

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes at a low rolling boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir for about a minute or two longer, remove from heat. Sauce will thicken as it stands. Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, cake, or as a dipping sauce with fruit and pretzels.

  1. Is there a way to substitute goat mik with condensed milk by adding something to the goat milk?? Just wondering if you have ever tried something like that?

  3. Hi there, interesting question! I wanted to first make sure you knew that this is evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk. The evaporated milk is not sweetened. But it does thicken when it cooks since a lot of the water is eliminated from it. So if you wanted to sub goat milk, I would say to stir a tablespoon of cornstarch into a little of the goat milk til there are no clumps, then stir it into the sauce like the directions say so it will thicken. Also, don't know if goat milk has a creamy taste, but evaporated milk does. So I would also say add an extra tablespoon of butter. Hope that helps!
