Recipe
5-Minute Hot Fudge Sauce
Ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips, stirring constantly until smooth.
Stir in the sweetened condensed milk, mixing well to combine. Continue stirring for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is thick and glossy.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, pancakes, or fruit!
Store in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring in between.
Salted Caramel Sauce
Ingredients:
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon sea salt. adjust to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra depth)
Instructions:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula as it melts into a golden-brown liquid. This can take about 5-7 minutes.
Once the sugar is fully melted, carefully add the butter, piece by piece. Stir continuously; it will bubble up—this is normal!
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so be careful. Continue stirring until it becomes a smooth sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in sea salt and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Let the caramel cool slightly before transferring to a glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Warm slightly before using.
Uses:
Drizzle over ice cream, brownies, or pancakes.
Stir into coffee or hot chocolate.
Use as a dip for apples or pretzels
