Hot Fudge Sauce

Splurge on really good chocolate for this recipe, as the flavor will really shine through.
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (either natural or Dutch-processed)
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 16 fluid oz. (2 cups) light corn syrup
  • 1 lb. semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 2-1/2 oz. (5 Tbs.) unsalted butter
  • Pinch table salt

Put the cocoa in a heavy-based saucepan. Slowly pour in the cream and whisk until smooth. Add the corn syrup, chopped chocolate, butter, and salt. Set the pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally to combine. When the chocolate is melted and the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat and let boil gently until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Let the sauce cool until it’s just warm (steam should no longer rise from the sauce when it’s stirred) before stirring in one of the flavor variations below (if using) or pouring into jars.
