I really love making this quick and easy chocolate fudge sauce to add to ice cream and other desserts.

This is one of those recipes that is hard to resist. When you make this chocolate fudge sauce, you’re going to want to lick the spoon, scrape out the pan and sneak tastes once it’s in the fridge too. It’s kind of irresistible. 

I always make a double batch of this sauce. It makes the perfect homemade hostess gift when you’re headed over to someone’s house for dinner.

Ingredients needed:

• white sugar
• heavy whipping cream
• cocoa powder
• salted butter
• corn syrup
• salt
• vanilla extract

How to make Chocolate Fudge Sauce:

The full, printable recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions is included at the end of this post.

Place all ingredients except for the vanilla extract in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir at boiling for 1 minute, until the sugar dissolves.

Remove the pan from heat, and stir in the vanilla extract. That’s it. This is such an easy recipe to make!

The recipe makes 1 1/2 cups of chocolate fudge sauce. Scrape it into a jar or another covered container. Keep it refrigerated until ready to use. You may use it as cold fudge sauce or hot fudge sauce. It heats well in the microwave.

Chocolate fudge sauce also makes a nice gift! Tie a cute bow around the jar, and type out some instructions. Be sure to include in the instructions the need for refrigeration. It should keep just fine in the refrigerator for up to one month. Freeze for up to 6 months.
