Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce

[Cleo]

This is my first recipe sharing experiment so please feel free to share any ideas on improvement on the conversion or anything else!
I made this today as a gift for some girlfriends who have been an amazing support for me this year. Thought it was good enough to share.
It makes about 4 cups when complete so you could probably make a smaller batch if required and adjust the cooking time. Peppermint can be substituted for vanilla if that is what you prefer. The original recipe stated that it keeps for two weeks in the fridge and you just reheat as required. Would be great over ice cream.

Peppermint Hot Fudge Sauce

2 cups cocoa
1.5 cups sugar(I used raw)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups cream
1 cup unsalted butter
2 teaspoons peppermint essence


Place everything in TMX bowl except peppermint essence mix on speed 3 for 6 minutes at 100 degrees. (my butter was out of the fridge so could reduce cooking time I guess if butter was room temp)
Add peppermint essence and mix for 10 seconds at speed 4.
I then tranferred to sterilised jars.

It has set fairly firm when put in the fridge so I would heat it and serve warm, but my brother would just use a spoon and eat out of the jar.

This looks dangerous Cleo

I feel like some right now.

[Kimmyh]

Me too. Do you then serve it hot or cold?

[Kimmyh]

Me too. Need to hide the spoons in my house doing a lot of that lately

As promised Cleo, I have put a cross reference to this sauce in the Condiment & Sauce thread just in case members are looking for a sweet sauce over there.  No chance of missing it now.

Congratulations on your first recipe posting, may it be the first of many.  It sounds very delicious and decadent.

Thank you very much JD, yes it is a bit decadent so much so that all I had was a taste whilst I made it and will give the rest away. As long as I can hide it from master 4 till tomorrow afternoon. Wish me luck he can sniff out chocolate.
