Hot Fudge FAQ

Is this dairy free?
Certainly you can. Use sweetened condensed milk that is dairy-free (I like this oat milk brand. I usually grab it with Whole Foods), swap the heavy cream for full fat coconut milk, and use the butter to be non-existent Exchange for air butter.

How do I store my homemade hot fudge?
Store in a closed fridge jar for up to 1 month. When ready to use, measure the microwave in 10-second increments and stir between each until it reaches the desired temperature.

Can I use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips?
