• 2 3/4 cups Sugar 2 3/4 cup Sugar
• 6 teaspoons Vanilla 6 teaspoon Vanilla
• 12oz Unsweetened Dark Chocolate (chopped coarsely to help melt faster) 12 oz Unsweetened Dark Chocolate
• 8oz Butter 8 oz Butter

Directions

Step 1

In saucepan, combine cream and sugar. Cook over medium heat until it just comes to a boil. Do not boil.

Step 2

Remove from heat. Whisk in chocolate until dissolved. Add vanilla and butter. Mix until butter is dissolved. Let cool before using as a frosting. Serve hot when using as hot fudge.

I picked up this recipe back in the early 90’s when I worked at Draegers Supermarket in the bakery department. It is really simple to make and is amazingly rich and creamy. I had this as my once a month cheat yesterday paired with the dark chocolate cake and it was worth every ounce I gained.

I also used to like to make ice cream cakes and pies like I did when I worked at Baskin Robbins. This is a great copycat recipe for the fudge frosting used on the cakes and pies, like the border used on the Grasshopper Pie.

Did I say this was to die for yet? That I can’t wait until next month where I might just make a grasshopper pie? oh my.

Enjoy!
