This 3 Ingredient Hot Fudge Sauce is silky, rich, and ultra chocolatey. Ready in minutes with chocolate, cream, and sweetener — it’s the ultimate topping for ice cream, brownies, and more.

  • Total Time: 7 minutes
  • Yield: 1 cup 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

½ cup heavy cream

2 tbsp sugar or honey (adjust to taste)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, gently heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until it begins to steam.

2. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips to the warm cream.

3. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth.

4. Add sugar or honey and stir until fully dissolved and glossy.

5. For thicker fudge, simmer gently for 1 extra minute.

6. Serve warm over ice cream, brownies, cookies, or cake.

Notes

Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate for a richer taste; milk chocolate is sweeter.

To make it minty, add ¼ tsp peppermint extract after melting.

For best texture, avoid overheating the cream or chocolate.

Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the refrigerator up to 5 days.

Reheat slowly in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of cream.
