Raspberry Hot Fudge Sundaes

5.0

(1)

Thick hot fudge sauce spiked with raspberry brandy covers scoops of vanilla ice cream — or any other favorite flavor. The sauce thickens further when it hits the cold ice cream, creating a dessert reminiscent of the one served in old-fashioned ice cream parlors.

Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup half and half
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons framboise eau-de-vie (clear raspberry brandy)
Vanilla ice cream
Fresh raspberries

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir sugar, half and half, chocolate, corn syrup, butter and salt in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and chocolate melts.

Rewarm over low heat, stirring frequently, before serving.)

    Step 2

    For each serving, spoon 1 tablespoon sauce into sundae glass or wine goblet. Top with 2 scoops of ice cream. Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce over. Sprinkle raspberries over and serve immediately.
