Rich, velvety Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe ready in 10 minutes with simple ingredients. Better than store-bought, it creates the perfect chocolate topping for ice cream and desserts.

Add the sugar and the cocoa, and stir to combine. Let the mixture cook for about 1 minute or until the sugar dissolved, stirring constantly.
1 cup sugar, 1/3 cup dutch-process cocoa
Remove from the heat, and add the salt and vanilla. Stir to combine.
Pinch of salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Use while still warm.

Notes
Flavor Options: This is a phenomenal semi-sweet chocolate hot fudge recipe. If you'd like it to be closer to a milk chocolate flavor, you can use semi-sweet or even milk chocolate in place of the unsweetened baking chocolate.Temperature Control: Be sure to keep the stove temperature at medium and lower it if it starts sticking to the bottom of the pan. You don't want to scorch your chocolate, so keep watching and stirring, and adjust the temperature as needed.
