[...] “Book of Great Chocolate Desserts,” and then, in the name of research, I looked for my dad’s hot fudge recipe, and then ended up tweaking it and making up my own. In between, there was a batch of oatmeal [...]

Ellise, I feel like I know your dad through this wonderful post on hot fudge. You’re such a wonderful story teller.

Elise-

My mother-in-law makes a great chocolate sauce that I wanted to share with you and my kids vehemently objected. “It’s a family secret”, they barked. Oh well, I guess I will just have to mail you some. Send me your address and I’ll ship some off to you. I’ll be making a batch to send to my mother for her birthday this month. Recipe hint: It uses evaporated milk and cocoa.

Such a sweet story. Could you guys fall asleep after your chocolatey sundaes? I get so amped when I have chocolate at night. Gosh, i do love a good HFS though. I like that you cut the sugar and created a nice dark choc. sauce. Just the way I like it! A hit of steamy caramel never hurt either

I’m coming back next week, so let’s make a Montmartre date for the following week… or maybe we can meet at my new apartment!!!

aneyefordetail: Yes, I have Maida’s desserts book, plus the one devoted just to chocolate (maybe that’s the one that you’re talking about?). I think that I know the sauce – I’ve tried lots, but always go back to a version of this one. In a pinch, I’ll melt down a big chocolate bar with butter, cream, and some sugar, too!

This looks DELISH! Thanks for sharing the recipe …

And it’s funny…my dad has the same fixation with Reese’s peanut butter cups, too. I buy bags and bags of the stuff whenever I go back to Singapore because that’s all he wants from NYC!

Have you ever looked at Maida Heatter’s “Book of Great Desserts”? I think that’s the right book of hers… she has a Hot Fudge Sauce, the kind that can get very hard when it hits the cold ice cream, that is my absolute favorite! I don’t cook it that long, so I avoid the hard as rock on your teeth kind of thing, and it’s divine.

Megan: You can get corn syrup at the Asian supermarkets here. I saw that David Lebovitz (www.davidlebovitz.com) suggested Lyle’s golden syrup or rice syrup as a substitute for corn syrup in his recent salty caramels recipe, so you may want to try one of those, too. I’m going to give the Lyle’s a test next time I make this.
