Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce.
Please update your google readers! http://feeds.feedburner.com/howsweeteats/smSp
I find the most decadent foods to usually be homemade. It just so happens that they also usually contain chocolate.
This is another recipe from Barb, who I am convinced has made some of the most amazing dishes I’ve ever encountered. It should come as no surprise, since her husband was a world-renowned chef.
It’s no secret that I love chocolate. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and that’s no exaggeration. I usually don’t like chocolate syrup or chocolate fudge sauce – I find many of them to be fake tasting or too runny.
However, this homemade fudge sauce is divine. It is also super simple and quick to make.
And it’s thick and fudgey, too. Just the way I like it.
I’m sure a ‘healthier’ version of this could be made, but I don’t feel there is a reason. It’s not as if you are going to eat a cup at a time, and a tablespoon or so won’t derail you from your goals.
Unless, of course, you are like me and eat it by the spoonfuls once you are finished making it.
In order to make myself feel better about that, I drizzled some over Coconut Bliss ice cream. It was incredible.
I also may mix a little into my Greek yogurt later . . . Mmmmm.
Homemade Chocolate Fudge Sauce
1 cup sugar
1 cup cocoa
2 tablespoons flour
pinch of salt
1 cup boiling water or scalding milk
1 tablespoon of butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla
Combine sugar, cocoa, salt, and flour in a bowl or pot over a double boiler. Bring water or milk to a boil. Gradually add hot liquid to sugar mixture. Stir constantly until mixture thickens.
Once it has reached the desired thickness, remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla.
Serve on ice cream, crepes, or yogurt.
Now please go make some of this, and store it in a little container in your fridge. It is fabulous cold. I would know, since I’ve been having scheduled tastings on a daily basis.
Chocolate will brighten any day. We all need a taste. :)
Wow. Thats all I can say. Wow.
I hope this wasn’t the recipe that almost burnt your house down!
Blessings-

*** saving this ****
[Reply]
i’m pretty sure you just posted the recipe for heaven
looks heavenly, and i might make it tonight for dessert for my anniversary!
[Reply]
definitely saving this one! oh yum. I am so hungry right now, and I think I would eat this stuff by the spoon. I do that to store-bought fudge sauce too, though, so that’s nothing new.
next time we have friends over, I’m buying ice cream and making this sauce!
[Reply]
thank you for all your recipes – this is something that i never would think to make homemade, but its so simple! i need to stop buying so many packaged things and get in the kitchen
[Reply]
Ow- I’ve never tried making anything like this. Deliciousness!
[Reply]
Could not agree more – chocolate daily is a must.
[Reply]
Fabulous!!

I want some of that sauce over some vanilla bean ice cream along with some peanut butter sauce … and some whipped cream. Golly, that looks amazing! I will be making some of that ASAP! You have no idea how much I love and adore fudge sauce!

Mmmm…homemade fudge sauce is a beautiful thing
SO much better than those corn-syrup laden store-bought sauces!
[Reply]
Hmmmm…I have some coconut bliss in the freezer! You are giving me a good idea here!
[Reply]
This looks so decadent!
No need to make this “healthy”… somethings need to remain untouched
[Reply]
This would be great over some fruit which really wouldn’t be that bad as far as fat goes. So good.
[Reply]
i am not going to show this to the fiance. this will be one of those recipes where he’s SURE we HAVE to make it. and then he’ll eat it all.
[Reply]
I would like to stand in the kitchen and just eat
[Reply]
WOW!!! That’s all I can say.

I love making things at home that other people thoughtlessy buy at the store. That looks amazing!
[Reply]

[Reply]
Ok so you have outdone yourself!
My quick n dirty vegan version would be coconut oil, cocoa powder, agave, vanilla extract, stir. The butter in yours would kinda make this totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
[Reply]
i think it’ll be great mixed in to greek yogurt, enjoy!
[Reply]
This looks so good! I could not be trusted with a container of this stuff in my fridge, you must have great willpower.
[Reply]

This would certainly brighten my day!
[Reply]
Oh the torture of reading your blog in between sessions! The chocolate sauce combined with the crepes…. genius!
I’m glad you could relate to my post today. It really is important to our mental health and careers that we occasionally we “break up” with a client.
