Ingredients

  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (5-ounce) can evaporated milk (about ⅔ cup)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 to 1 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
  • Stir in the powdered sugar, evaporated milk, and vanilla, then microwave another 3 to 4 minutes until thick and bubbly.

Notes

  • Storage: This hot fudge sauce will last for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator. To use, reheat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds, giving it a stir partway through.
  • Heavy cream: If you don't have evaporated milk on hand, heavy cream or whipping cream can be used in this recipe in its place to make this hot fudge sauce recipe.
