Making this easy homemade Hot Fudge Sauce doesn’t get any better than melting chocolate in a pan. Save money and time by making it from scratch at home.


Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce made from scratch at home

I don’t think there’s anything more irresistable than a spoon dipped in silky smooth, decadent Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce. Just look at it – ready to pour at a moment’s notice over a glorious scoop (or two) of ice cream. It reminds me of college where my dorm would have ice cream sundae parties. It’s so easy to make hot fudge sauce at home rather wasting time and money driving to the store for an overpriced jar (or maybe that’s just me who doesn’t have anybody to send to the store). If you can melt chocolate into a pan with a few other ingredients, then you are one step closer to making homemade hot fudge sauce.

When I think of hot fudge sauce, I think of all the ice cream sundae parties I’ve attended. I may have never gone to a wild high school party, but I sure have been to some pretty wild ice cream parties. You know, where you just pile everything on top – hot fudge sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream, sprinkles, more hot fudge sauce. Oh and don’t forget the cherry on top.

The corn syrup in this recipe helps give the hot fudge sauce its shine while also keeping it silky smooth. I highly recommend using corn syrup as instructed; however, in a pinch I did find this recipe substitute. One time I didn’t have any corn syrup in the pantry, so I used that sub in a pinch. Just don’t overcook it or it’ll be rock hard. The sauce was a tiny bit more grainy than using corn syrup, but both versions worked just as well.

    I bought a jar of hot fudge sauce last year for a recipe and never used it after I saw all of the chemicals and other artificial ingredients in it. I love the idea of making it myself!

    Can you use coconut cream instead of heavy cream in this recipe?

      I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure. A quick Google search says yes you can, but I can’t guarantee results with my recipe. Let me know if it works for you!
