An epic, two ingredient, ready in five minutes, genius recipe by Martha Stewart.

The original recipe is actually a ganache [ a thick whipped chocolate filling for tarts, cakes or cookies]. If you don’t whip it, you have the fastest, easiest, most divine chocolate fudge sauce on the planet – just sayin’. It’s insane poured over your favourite ice cream, stirred into a mug of hot cream or as a fondue for fruit and pound cake. Remember those cherries I was telling you about – off-the-charts dipped in this stuff!

In the interest of full disclosure, I shared this recipe with you a couple of summers ago as part of a multi-recipe post; VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH HOT FUDGE SAUCE. Some recipes are worth re-sharing. This is one…

HOT FUDGE SAUCE adapted from a Martha Stewart recipe
makes 2 cups

1½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup whipping cream

THE STEPS:

• Place semi sweet chocolate chips in a metal bowl and set aside.
• Place whipping cream in a sauce pot over medium high heat and bring to the scald.
• Immediately pour scalded cream over chips.
• Allow to sit for 1 minute and then whisk until smooth.

THE LOVE: You can add 1 teaspoon of whatever flavouring you like; vanilla, framboise, brandy etc…I like mine straight up!

Thanks for reading.
