Hot Fudge Sundaes win the contest for my favorite chocolate. I splurge a whole day’s caloric intake once a year and go full out, major sundae indulgence. I have to have the best vanilla ice cream to begin with. That’s not Baskin and Robbins. It’s homemade, hand cranked ice cream from my grandmother’s recipe.
Then the special hot fudge sundae glass is a must.
Freshly chopped and toasted walnuts and . . . what else?
HOME MADE HOT FUDGE SAUCE, THAT’S WHAT!
This makes about 3 1/2 C. so it lasts exactly one day at our house . . . the HOT FUDGE SUN DAY.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 2 whole cups milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
Preparation:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Over medium heat, combine milk, butter and vanilla until the butter has melted. Add dry ingredients to the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Boil, stirring constantly until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Cool and refrigerate unused portion.
You reheat this in a double-boiler, or microwave, but as purist I use the whole 3 1/2 cups that day. I do share when I make these, so other benefit from my yearly fetish.
Now top that off with a maraschino cherry and I’m in heaven.

Mmmm, yummy. You make your own ice cream? Boy, that brings back memories of when I was a kid. The old hand crank machine made the best ice cream. Your sundae looks delicious.

I love sundaes. I haven't had one in a while. Hmmm, maybe I can grab one this weekend.

Sadly, I can't share your enthusiasm for chocolate, or sundaes. But I totally enjoyed your book trailer!
Laura Eno says
I'll come to your house for dessert anytime. ๐ Thanks for joining the blogfest!
Ruth Schiffmann says
Wow, sounds delicious. I've never made homemade ice cream or homemade hot fudge sauce. But I agree with you that a special sundae glass is a must. One of my daughters doesn't like cake, so when she was young, for her birthday we would have sundae making parties. Shopping for special sundae cups was part of the fun.
Arlee Bird says
Love hot fudge sundaes. My mother used to make a similar chocolate sauce sans the flour. Guess that would add smoothness.

Tossing It Out
LTM says
Oh, Lee! Nothing is better than homemade, hand-cranked vanilla ice cream! I used to LOVE it as a kid. Too bad now I'm allergic. Can you believe that??? But I still love me some dark chocolate. Dove. Promises. mmmmm… :d <3
