You are pulling out a little ice cream snack and looking for the perfect topping. You could go for the old Hersey's syrup. That's what I did for many years. But... life is relatively short. Don't go for cheap ice cream toppings.
That's where Maw-maw's chocolate fudge sauce comes in to save the day. Just think of the perfect balance of a silky chocolate sauce but with the flavor of a creamy fudge.
Your ice cream and taste buds will thank you.
Oh, btw, you can just eat this out of the jar with a spoon. It's been known to happen.
Ingredients:
1.5 stick of butter
6 tbs cocoa
1.5 cups sugar
Pinch of salt
1.5 cups evaporated milk, 1 large can
2 tsp vanilla
Directions:
In a large microwavable bowl, melt the butter in the microwave then mix in the cocoa.
Mix in the sugar, salt & evaporated milk.
Microwave on power 7 for 16-18 minutes. Watch that it does not boil over. Stir down if needed.
Cook until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
After cooking stir in the vanilla.
Server immediately or save in a canning jar and reheat or serve cold.
Notes:
This is also a great Christmas gift to make for people. Gift in small canning jars.
Just don't tell them where you got the recipe.
