Recipe Update: 2020 We still use this recipe. This is our go-to hot fudge sauce for all icecream. I have even used it as a chocolate fondue in a flash and served it with pound cake or bananas.
This is the easiest recipe for hot fudge sauce that I have ever made.
My sister n law, Elizabeth, introduced this to our family 20+ years ago and we have used it for more social events than we can count.
We call it A CUP, A CAN and A CUBE.
For those that don't remember the term, CUBE, that is now our current STICK of butter.
This chocolate is best served by the spoonfuls with very little of anything else…LOL Okay that is just how I eat the hot fudge sauce.
I love it served warm over raspberry sherbet, stirred in a glass of milk or as a fondue for some of my favorite fruits and pound cake.
It's a real treat and something that makes a wonderful gift for neighbors and friends.
Recipe: Hot Fudge Sauce
1 cube (stick, 1/2 cup) of butter, soft
1 cup of chocolate chips
1 can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
To make your own Sweetened Condense Milk, there is a great recipe HERE from Just as Delish.
In a medium sauce pan on medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk.
Stir well to combine. The butter will take a minute to incorporate into the sauce. It will be smooth and silky.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Good for one month in sealed container.
This looks so good. Pinning for future reference. Have a great Thanksgiving.

This recipe reminds me one of the most popular Brazilian sweets: Brigadeiro! When I was in school I usually did Brigadeiro and ate the whole thing, still warm, directly from the pan. So delicious!
ReplyDeleteThat is super easy and I love that I usually have all of those ingredients! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful recipe! And how much simpler does it get: a cup, a can and a cube :-). It was the most popular post on RecipeNewZ yestarday, and today it's featured in our hall of fame: http://www.facebook.com/RecipeNewZ
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and Happy Thanksgiving!
I love easy recipes, they are fun to make! What great recipe to give as a gift in a fun basket:-) Yum, Hugs, Terra
ReplyDeleteDoes this need to be refrigerated? Looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI always keep it in the fridge. To warm it up, I use the microwave.
Deletethanks! will try this for christmas gifts.
ReplyDeletelooks scrumptious! have you ever made it with the fat free sweetened condensed milk? did it turn out? thanks!
ReplyDeleteDoes it make a difference what kind of chocolate chips you use? Semi-sweet,milk chcolate?
ReplyDeleteNo, it shouldn't. I have used semi sweet and dark before and they both turn out well. I have not tried milk or white chips. Let us know what type you try so we can experiment with our next batch…LOL
DeleteSo Easy and so yummy...just made some for Christmas gifts for my neighbors :) thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteReal butter necessary?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't know. I only use real butter and so if you were to use something else I am not sure how the ingredients would blend together. It may work fine. If you try please let me know as other's may also have the same question.
DeleteDo you know if you could freeze or can it to preserve it?
ReplyDeleteI have never froze this before, but I have left it in my fridge for a month and it still taste delicious.
DeleteYum! gotta try this one, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf I am planning to make this for Christmas gifts how much with this recipe make? Need to plan for jar size (ounces). Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe jar that you see at the top holds 2 cups, roughly 16 ounces. This is the amount of one batch.
DeleteButterscotch chips would work_. Ever try splenda?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize I should have done this with semi-sweet chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate.... it's yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhat size can of condensed milk?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question!!
DeleteThis is the best hot fudge sauce! My sister in law, Amy which is your sister in law, introduced this to me years ago. It's a favorite. I love your blog. You take beautiful pictures and your writing is impeccable.
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent fudge sauce! Thank you for sharing your recipe. I made this for dessert this evening.......would temper it with some half & half to thin it out a bit.
ReplyDeleteAre the chocolate chips semi-sweet?
ReplyDeleteI used semi sweet for this recipe, but I have also used dark chocolate. I have never tried milk or white. I hope this helps.
DeleteAh how lovely that you've included a recipe for Condensed Milk from a fellow Malaysian.
ReplyDeleteWe love our condensed milk; in teas, coffees etc.
Shall be giving this recipe a try! Thanks!
I used:
ReplyDelete1/2 Cup Real Butter
182g Milk Chocolate (chose a cooking milk chocolate as Cadburys Milk Chocolate for us Irish is low in coco solids)
397g condensed milk
2 drops of vanilla extract
I'm a divil for adding extras so couldn't help myself with the vanilla but the fudge sauce is Fantastic.
The rest is in the fridge for tomorrow... THANK YOU SHERRON :)
i accidentally used 1 cup instead of 1/2 cup of butter! OOOPS - but I just added about 1/2 a cup of cocoa and it was fine - tastes great actually!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe, it is quick and easy and apparently me proof ;)
Just found this and am going to try it. I want to see how it taste over dairy queen ice cream. thanks Mell
ReplyDeleteIf we are using the homemade condensed milk from the recipe you posted, do we use the entire batch for this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI will NEVER buy the jarred crap again!! I just made this and I used bittersweet chips and it turned out a-freaking-mazing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat size can of condensed milk?
ReplyDeleteI usually make a classic ganache but thought I'd try this. It is easy to throw together but wasn't as complex in flavor as I like. I added 0.5 t sea salt and 1.0 t pure vanilla. Just right. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! I will never buy store bought chocolate sauce again. So easy to make. I just made a batch in about 5 minutes, practically licked the pan clean!!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother used to make this homemade many years ago when i was a wee one. She use to pour it over cheese cake which was also homemade. So delightful. All her ingredients came right from her own farm for all her homemade food stuff. Wow be a wee one again. :)
ReplyDeleteI jus need to know wat is the weight if the can of sweetened condensed milk
ReplyDeleteI jus need to know wat is the weight if the can of sweetened condensed milk
ReplyDeleteJust made this to go along with homemade churros. It's amazing and I have plenty left over for use as a topping on other goodies. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeletesalted or unsalted butter?
ReplyDeleteI used salted butter but either one will be okay for this recipe.
DeleteMy husband was just sayingthere has to be a recipe for hot fudge sauce becaue thestore bought don't taste like they 'use' to when we were kids 1,000 yrs ago (true, what does?)
ReplyDeleteWhat size bag, (ounce wise) of chocolate chips do you use?
Thank you! I look forward to making this!
My husband just mentioned he wished there was a good hot fudge sauce like we had as kids (a thousand years ago)and I stumbled across this when doing a search!
ReplyDeleteMy question is what size bag of chocolate chips (ounce wise) do you use?
Thank you so much, I look forward to making this!
