Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (coarsely chopped)
  • 0.25 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.1 tsp salt pinch

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over medium heat until it starts to steam.
  2. Pull the pan off the heat and add the chopped chocolate and peanut butter. Let the mixture sit for 30 seconds.
  3. Whisk the cream, chocolate, and peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  5. Add the vanilla and salt and mix to combine.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool for about 10 minutes before serving warm. The mixture will thicken slightly as it cools and will be a nice texture when it hits the cold ice cream.

Notes

Store any extras in an air-tight container in the fridge and reheat to warm before serving again. Hot fudge is much thicker than chocolate sauce or syrup, it's cream-based and uses whole chocolates for a richer flavor.
