Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe
Hot fudge sauce recipe, a family favorite. This hot fudge sauce recipe was developed by my father. It is a favorite enjoyed by both family and friends. It was served in one of our family restaurants. When I was pregnant with our son, it was the food I craved!
Instructions
1. Combine milk, sugar, butter, cocoa, and salt in heavy sauce pan, stir over medium heat to begin the hot fudge sauce.
2. Continue stirring the hot fudge sauce over medium heat, bringing to a boil. As the chocolate cooks you will notice the fudge changing from a speckled coloring to a more even colored fudge.
3. Continue to stir the hot fudge sauce over heat, until chocolate reaches soft ball stage. To test for soft ball stage, take a glass of room temperature water, and add one drop of the fudge to the water. If the fudge somewhat holds its form as it slide to the bottom of the glass, it is soft ball. If it dissolves immediately, it is not done. If it immediately forms into a hard ball as it moves through the water, it is overcooked.
4. Remove hot fudge sauce from heat.
5. Stir vanilla into the hot fudge sauce.
6. Allow hot fudge sauce to cool before spooning warm hot fudge over ice cream.
