    Rich, thick, and intensely chocolatey, this Hot Fudge recipe whips up in just 10 minutes! You'll be surprised at how many new ways you'll find to use it, or just eat it with a spoon.

    Hot Fudge

    Of all the delicious ways to eat chocolate, Hot Fudge might just be the most indulgent. It’s thick and velvety, full of rich, deep chocolate flavor.

    And it has a certain gooey, molten quality that feels like pure decadence.

    Make this Hot Fudge Recipe and spoon it over low carb ice cream, low carb blondies, or keto cheesecake brownies. Or let’s be real; make this recipe and just eat it with a spoon, lol.

    This Hot Fudge Recipe is not only crazy delicious, but you won’t believe how easy it is to make. 10 minutes is all it takes to the best hot fudge sauce of your life – keto or not!

    Easy Homemade Hot Fudge Recipe – The Best Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe!

    There are a few different factors that make this recipe the BEST you’ll ever make. If you’re looking for a Hot Fudge Recipe with cocoa powder, you’re in the right place!

    Pro Tip: When making Hot Fudge Sauce, cocoa powder adds incredibly rich chocolate notes. And bonus, cocoa powder is unsweetened so you can add in the (sugar free) sweetener of your choice to keep this low carb and keto friendly!

    First things first, taste. If it doesn’t taste good, even if it’s quick and easy, and the end of the day it won’t get eaten and I won’t make it again. This hot fudge is good. As in, almost too good.

    But luckily it’s sugar free Hot Fudge, lol!

    Which brings me to my next point; this is low carb and keto Hot Fudge! Who says something needs to have sugar to taste good? Part of what makes this the best is that it won't make you sugar crash later.

    And let’s not forget how easy it is to make this! Because we’re all busy, right? But even busy people deserve a mind-blowing chocolate experience.

    Boasting complex, deep chocolate notes, luxurious thickness, and smooth creaminess, try this Hot Fudge Recipe and see if it doesn’t make you want to make another batch again soon.

    Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe FAQs

    Does Hot Fudge Need to be Refrigerated?

    Yes! Store homemade Hot Fudge in a lidded glass jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. (It will possibly stay good for longer, but I don't know because mine is always gone before then!)

    To reheat Hot Fudge, spoon the amount desired into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 15 seconds. Stir, and then heat for an additional 10 seconds if needed. Or reheat in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly.

    How Do You Keep Hot Fudge Sauce Warm?

    There are a few different ways you can easily keep Hot Fudge Sauce warm:

    1. Put it in a small slow cooker on LOW, and stir it occasionally.
    2. Add it to a double boiler over very low heat, and stir it occasionally.

    Does Hot Fudge Sauce Go Bad?

    Yes, Hot Fudge sauce can eventually go bad. When a pool of liquid forms at the top it means it's starting to go.

    To help extend the shelf life as much as possible, store it in a lidded glass jar in the fridge.

    I find that if stored properly, this Hot Fudge Sauce is good for at least 2 weeks in the fridge (possibly longer, but it was eaten by the 2 week mark!).
