Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (72%)
  • 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped bars
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar add 1-2 extra TBSP to taste if you want it sweeter
  • one 12-ounce can evaporated milk
  • 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp salted butter 14 grams

Instructions

  • Make the Hot Fudge: Add the chocolates, evaporated milk, and sugar to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until it just reaches a low boil, stirring constantly. Once it reaches the low boil, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
    The sauce will thicken more as it cools.
    1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (72%), 1 cup milk chocolate chips or chopped bars, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, one 12-ounce can evaporated milk, 1 and 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 tbsp salted butter
  • Serve + Store: Enjoy immediately! Let leftovers cool down to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks, or freeze in a freezer safe container for 1-2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Notes

Chocolate: Play around with the chocolate ratios to fit your desired taste! I like this balance because it's sweet without being too sweet, but it's also not too dark.
