Ingredients for the Best Hot Fudge Sauce(without corn syrup)

2 cups heavy whipping cream

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

3/4 cup granulated white sugar

2 ounce bittersweet chocolate chopped

11/4 cups sifted Dutch Cocoa( I use Valrhona or Droste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste

Instructions

DIRECTIONS

In a medium saucepan combine the heavy cream, butter, white sugar, brown sugar and the salt. Whisk until combined. Then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat(do not boil). Simmer for 45 seconds.Add the chopped chocolate and whisk until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the sifted unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk until there are no lumps.

Return the pan to low heat and simmer and whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 20 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Serve the sauce warm.

Notes

You can change the flavor of the sauce by adding peanut butter, rum, bourbon, or adding extracts to make peppermint or mocha flavored hot fudge sauce.
