Choco-Coffee Hot Fudge Sauce
Yield: 3 cups Prep 10 mins Cook 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
  • 6 1 ounce squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Make It

1. Heat cream in a heavy-bottomed medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat until bubbles form along edge. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in both sugars, cocoa, butter, chocolate, espresso powder and salt.

2. Continue to heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and sugars are melted, about 10 minutes. Take off heat and stir in the coffee liqueur and vanilla. Allow to cool; store in airtight jars in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When serving, reheat gently.

3. To present as a gift, wrap the tops of the jars in festive fabric and secure with ribbon; keep refrigerated until ready to give. Nestle in a tin filled with netting and include a whisk, wooden spoons and premium maraschino cherries.
