Martha Stewart's Hot Fudge Sauce

Submitted by nascarmom

"This came from a Martha Stewart cookbook. Wonderful flavor. Almost the same taste as Malley's hot fudge sauce in Cleveland. I have been asked for this recipe a lot. I am REQUIRED to double it every time I make it! It is good even just taking it by the spoonful after it is in the refrigerator. Do not cook it too long though or it will become fudge."

I tried this out because my wife is from outside Cleveland and Malley's Fudge Sauce is a favorite of ours, (though primarily for off-label use.) The taste might be similar, but the consistency certainly is not. My wife's reaction is that it is too sticky. The best way I can describe it is that Malley's has a frosting like consistency and this recipe is more like a melted Tootsie Roll. I thought I'd provide Malley's ingredients here so they can be compared to this recipe: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Cream, Water, Creamer (Coconut Oil, Corn Syrup Solids, Sodium Caseinate (a Milk Derivative), Sugar, Dipotassium Phosphate, Propylene Glycol Esters of Fatty Acids, Mono & Diglycerides, Sodium Silico Aluminate, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Calcium Carrageenan, Artificial Flavor and Color), Chocolate Liquor, Evaporated Milk (Milk, Dipotassium Phosphate, Carrageenan, Vitamin D3), Coconut Oil, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Caramel Color, Salt, Potassium Sorbate, Soy Lecithin. Clearly this recipe has less chemicals in it.

This sauce is so good! Used half cream and half milk and it was perfect. Awesome on ice cream.

It's quick to make with ingredients you most likely have on hand. If you don't have evaporated milk, look up one of the evaporated milk substitute recipes on this site and use it. Although nascarmom is required to make a double recipe, I chose to make a half recipe because I didn't trust myself with any more than that amount of Hot Fudge Sauce in the house. The half recipe worked great. It made about 3/4 of a cup. You gotta try this recipe.

Turns out perfect. I had to use heavy cream.

So easy to make and delicious too! I used fat free half and half in place of the full on cream and it was fine. Let it cool slightly before using to let it thicken some and we enjoyed. Thanks for sharing your recipe:) Made for PAC Fall 09
