Bittersweet Hot Fudge

Leigh Belanger
Hot fudge makes everything better. Try this dark and barely bitter version over almost any flavor of ice cream.

Makes 1¼ cups

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ¼ cup corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips or a 6-ounce bar chopped into ½-inch-thick chunks ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste

Instructions
 

  • In medium saucepan, bring ¾ cup cream, corn syrup, and vanilla to a low boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add chocolate, stirring until it melts. If sauce looks grainy, slowly whisk in additional cream, until it turns thick and glossy.
  • Stir in salt, taste, and adjust as needed. Serve warm.
