Notes

  1. Use the best quality chocolate to make this fudge sauce. Use dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet or bitter-sweet chocolate chips.
  2. The sauce will be liquid/thin when it’s hot. As it cools it will thicken.
  3. When hot sauce touches chilled/cold ice cream it will separate. Wait for hot fudge sauce to cool and thicken before pouring over ice cream.
  4. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator it will last for 4-5 days.
