Just bumping up another old favorite here. This hot fudge is to die for! This recipe is coming down the generations through my husband side. My grandmother in law is where the recipe originated for me (not sure where she got it) and it is my mother in law’s claim to fame now. The truth is that usually my hubby makes it when we have it, but maybe I better step it up and be the one to make it so that the tradition of women married into the family making this wonderful hot fudge recipe can live on! This stuff is AMAZING!

Ingredients
- Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe:
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 2 C sugar
- 3 (1 oz.) squares of unsweetened chocolate (or sub. 9 T of cocoa and 3 T of veg. oil stirred together)
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a large, heavy pan on low heat.
- Stir in the sugar and the milk.
- Cook over medium heat stirring constantly for about 20 minutes. It will start to boil around the 7-8 minute mark.
- Keep cooking until it is the thickness you want (remembering that it will be thicker when it hits the cold ice cream).
- Add vanilla and stick of butter/margarine.
- Serve over ice cream. Or, do what my husband does and eat it by the spoonful.
- It freezes well too so you can just it later.
We LOVE to have hot fudge sundae parties with neighbors and friends and serve this hot fudge with a variety of toppings to go with it. We like to top it with nuts, sprinkles, toffee pieces, cookies pieces, marshmallows, whipped cream, etc.

HI,
I did make this as gifts for teachers and it is super yummy. I have just been putting it in canning jars and saying to refridgerate after opening, but since it has milk ingredients I am wondering if I should have said to keep refridgerated and heat before serving? I am going to do that with the rest to play it safe.
Thank-you,
Nikki
Amber says
Yes, we always refrigerate it. Or freeze it if we want it to keep longer.
Crystal Branco says
When you say “stick of butter”, do you mean 125g or 500 g.
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to try this
Amber says
It’s half a cup which probably also doesn’t help…I just don’t really know. Sorry!
Reena says
Hello, I am going to make these for my son’s preschool teachers! How many oz is the evaporated milk can? I think they come in 5 or 12 oz? And how big are the canning jars that you use? I wanted to make sure I buy the right size of everything! Thanks!!
Amber says
The milk is in a 12 oz. can. I used small jars but you can use any really.
Candias Chalker says
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us. Passed down recipes, which are tried and true are the absolute best!!
Sarah says
How much Hot fudge sauce does this recipe make? How many of what size jars?
Amber says
It makes quite a bit but I have to admit that I have never measured it. It would fill several jars.
Jenn says
This looks delicious! My think my husband will like this even more than the kiddos! Love the bowl too – I have the same one! :)
Jessica says
Thank you so much for sharing! I just made this and I am in love!! I had to use the cocoa and oil, but it turned out amazing! I will never buy hot fudge sauce again!!
T says
Can it be canned?
Amber says
Not sure about canned but definitely frozen.
Abby says
Made this last night. Absolutely delicious! But a little gritty. Any suggestionson why that is?
Amber says
Make sure to use a whisk to mix the ingredients. That helps. And did you remember the butter at the end?
bEVERLEY cOP says
Can you please give the butter quantity as when you a living in another country 1 stick does not mean anything
Amber says
1/2cup
Rachel Key says
Just made this and it’s yum. It made 2 jam jars (2 x 415g – which is about 2 x 15oz). The butter amount is 175g/6oz roughly.
Regina says
My mom used to make this sauce when my family made homemade ice cream years ago. I googled some of the ingredients hoping to find a recipe – and here it was! The exact same sauce! Thank you for posting it. I just put all of the ingredients together at the same time, used the cocoa, but omitted the oil because I didn’t remember my mom using that. It came out great and my little daughter loves it just like I do!

Amber says
Mmmm….it’s so good right?
Crystal says
Do you melt the butter?
Amber says
You put it in the hot sauce and it melts.
Gail says
Great. thanks. I love to get new recipes.. Brings some joy to the day..
ColleenB.~Texas says
Not much for putting sauce over ice cream but I do like for dipping fruit in. I just put the sauce in my fondue pot; have variety of fruit handy and start dipping away.
Thanks for sharing your recipe
