Ingredients

  • 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (340 grams)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk!)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 grams)
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often with a rubber spatula around the bottom and sides of the pan, until the mixture comes to a light boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and allow to cook for 2 minutes, making sure to stir constantly so the mixture doesn’t burn.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot fudge sauce into a heat-proof bowl. Allow to cool slightly, stirring a few times while it’s cooling.
