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?
Not for this recipe! The chocolate chips give its thick, fud texture. If you don’t have chocolate chips on hand, you can use chopped chocolate instead! Unless you prefer a very sweet hot fudge, I recommend using semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
