Q&A: What’s the Best Way to Thicken Chocolate Sauce, making it similar to hot fudge?
Question by w_t_isc: What’s the Best Way to Thicken Chocolate Sauce, making it similar to hot fudge?
I really like vanilla ice cream with hot fudge but my dad never buys it. He only buys plain, thin chocolate sauce, and says they are the same thing.
What is the best way to make chocolate sauce similar in consistency to hot fudge (how can i make it thicker), in the easiest way?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You can put it in a saucepan on the stove and heat it on medium heat for a while. This is called “reducing” the sauce, it will thicken it up. Make sure to stir it frequently. It will take a little bit but it works!
