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.

    Makes 6 Servings

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. Increase heat to medium-low and cook until sauce is smooth and thick, stirring constantly, about 4 minutes. Remove sauce from heat. Stir in framboise. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill. 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.
