Hot Fudge Sauce
It’s thick. It’s creamy. It’s silky smooth. It’s oh so chocolatey. I could eat this Hot Fudge Sauce right from the jar. No kidding around here! If you are a fan of McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundaes or DQ’s Peanut Buster Parfait, you are going to want to try this recipe. I think it’s even better!
Why make your own Hot Fudge Sauce? Why not? It’s straightforward and you know exactly what ingredients are going into it.
How to Make Hot Fudge Sauce
You’ll need a can of evaporated milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, sugar, butter and vanilla extract.
Add the evaporated milk, chocolate chips and sugar to a saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Heat till it starts to boil and make sure you stir it constantly. Then, once it boils, remove the saucepan from the heat.
At this point, you’ll stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Leave it to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. It will thicken up and become even glossier.
Serve it warm over ice cream, cake, cheesecake or whatever dessert you like.

If you are like me, you’ll grab a spoon and take a few bites right from the jar!
Your Hot Fudge Sauce is fine in the fridge for up to 1 month. Store it in a jar or airtight container.
When you are ready to use it, heat it up slightly in the microwave so it’s loosened up. It will thicken up considerably in the fridge and be almost like a pudding. Not that I’m complaining….
My dad brought someone over to help me with the yard work. It was during that mega heatwave we just had so I offered him some ice cream. I made a Hot Fudge Sundae and he devoured the bowl like there was no tomorrow. I guess that’s a sign it’s a good recipe!

Just made this. Super yummy and really easy to make. Yes, I found myself eating it right from the jar, also.
Extremely easy to make!. Made a double batch and added 3 tablespoons of peanutbutter for a more fudgey taste. Love it!
Made this for a group in May and now I get requests for it all the time! Thank goodness it’s so easy to make! We bought Mason jars to keep it stocked for easy transport and reheating. My favorite way to eat this sauce is over fresh strawberries but it makes an awesome brownie sundae. Thank you!
