Summer is all about ice cream and cool treats. They are the perfect things to make if you do not want to turn on the oven. When I was a child my favorite thing ever was hot fudge, I would eat it from the jar by the spoonful with or without a little ice-cream.
My grandmother always made us homemade hot fudge to go with the hand churned ice cream that we used to make. Do you remember the ice cream makers with the ice and the salt, the kind that seemed like it too all day to make and crank the handle?
This Bailey's Hot Fudge sauce is the perfect accompaniment to any ice cream that you make or buy and frankly it tastes delicious right from the jar as well. It is very easy to make, you basically put everything in the sauce pan, stir and eat. Although I do recommend letting it sit for 20-30 minutes. Now, if you do not like alcohol or Bailey's than just omit it from the recipe and you have traditional hot fudge sauce.
Bailey's Hot Fudge Sauce
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup dark cocoa powder
pinch of salt
8 oz. dark chocolate (I use 70-85% dark chocolate bars)
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
4 tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream
Place heavy cream, corn syrup, brown sugar, cocoa, salt and half of the chocolate in a pan over medium-high heat. Bring mixture to a boil then let simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly otherwise the mixture will scotch and burn.
Remove pan from heat and add the rect of the chocolate, the butter, vanilla and the Bailey's. Mix well and then let rest for 20-30 minutes. Pour into jars to store or over ice cream to enjoy immediately.
Enjoy!
