Rhoda’s Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce

a recipe from Rhoda Janis

Ingredients

2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
¼ t. Kosher salt
2 c. heavy cream
1 c. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2 t. pure peppermint extract OR pure vanilla extract

Yields 4 cups

Instructions

1. In a doubler boiler, or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stir together cocoa, sugars and salt. Immediately add the cream and butter.

2. Cook this mixture over the simmering water, stirring constantly to make sure it stays smooth.  Bring to a boil for 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
3. Allow the sauce to cool for 5 minutes. Then stir in the peppermint or vanilla extract.

4. This will store well in the refrigerator for up to one month. If giving as gifts pour the sauce into sterilized, airtight mason jars.

Naptime Notes

Naptime Recipe Serving ideas

Everyone should have a great hot fudge sauce recipe in their repertoire and this one won’t disappoint. I love that it can be made peppermint or plain and still taste delicious. I’ll bet it might be delicious with orange zest, too, if you wanted to give that a try.

Naptime Stopwatch

As you can see, making this takes about 15 minutes from start to finish (obviously there was a little time lapse above). There is hardly an easier and faster way to make delicious holiday gifts for your friends and family.
