Ingredients
  

For the Sauce:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan
  • Whisk or Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Storage Container

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of powdered sugar, the 12 ounces of evaporated milk, and the ½ cup of salted butter.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously. This will help to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter.
  3. Once the mixture starts to simmer, add in the 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Continue to stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  4. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.
  5. Once you achieve the perfect thickness, remove the saucepan from heat. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store the hot fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Freeze the sauce in ice cube trays for up to three months for longer storage.
  • Reheat in the microwave or on the stove over low heat until smooth.
