Hi again! It’s me, with another awesome addition to your recipe collection.

Hot fudge sauce!

There is something you should know about me. Confession time: I can be pretty boring when it comes to ordering desserts, especially in the summertime. Sure, I whip up all kinds of unique creations for the website. But on hot summer nights, when we go out for ice cream, I’m nothing but a one-trick pony. I almost always get the same thing, every time.

Hot fudge sundae, man. I cannot resist.

There is just something about the contrast of cold against hot, sweet against rich, vanilla against chocolate. I’m completely powerless against the charms of a hot fudge sundae.

So when I posted that amazing no-churn vanilla ice cream last week? I had an ulterior motive all along. It was really all about the hot fudge sauce.

Can you blame me? Just look at how well they go together. These two were meant to be!

As you can see in the video below, it’s dangerously simple to make.

Just a handful of pantry staples, simmered and stirred together, yield a tall jar of magnificently thick, rich hot fudge sauce. It’ll keep for weeks in the fridge, just microwave it, 20 seconds at a time (stirring) to bring it back to velvety-warm life.

It makes a great gift too! I know it’s early yet, but I always like to make mental note of those kinds of treats that can be tucked into Christmas stockings a few months down the line. (Have a peek at my “Homemade Gifts” category, and you’ll see what I mean!)

Although, it’d probably be pretty hard to part with, especially for a hot fudge sundae freak such as myself.
