Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop: Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe
I love stopping for a treat at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop in Downtown Disney. They have the most unbelievable hot fudge sauce! I have posted 2 recipes for it below. The first one is from Ghirardelli’s official website and the second one is my version that I make at home. You can try either or both, they are equally delicious!!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop: Hot Fudge Sauce (from their website)
*makes 2 cups
Ingredients:
- 4 ounces 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into chunks
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In a heavy saucepan, combine the chocolate (cut into 1/4″ pieces), butter, sugar, water and corn syrup. Stir the mixture continuously over medium heat until the chocolate and butter have melted and the sugar is dissolved. When the sauce comes to a boil, lower heat and continue boiling gently for 10 minutes. Remove the thickened sauce from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Store covered in the refrigerator. To reheat, place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium for 6 – 8 minutes, stirring after 3 minutes.
