Italian Hot Fudge Sundae Food

CLASSIC HOT FUDGE SUNDAE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt to a simmer, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chocolate and let cook until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or liquor. Let cool slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is best served warm, not piping hot.
• For assembly, make the whipped cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Pour a little fudge sauce into the bottoms of sundae dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then more hot fudge, then nuts if using. Cover all with whipped cream and a cherry if you like. Serve.

Steps:

• Pile mashed potatoes in each serving bowl to resemble a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top with roast beef with gravy to resemble hot fudge. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese on top. Dollop sour cream, the "whipped cream," on top. Garnish each sundae with a cherry tomato.

HOT FUDGE AND SALTED CHOCOLATE BITS SUNDAE

Steps:

• To make the bits: Line a pie plate with plastic wrap. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or on low power in a microwave. Add the salt, stir to blend and then, using a spatula, spread the chocolate on the plastic, making a layer that's 1/8-inch thick (shape doesn't matter). Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface and freeze for at least 45 minutes. When you're ready to make the sundaes, chop the chocolate into bite-size bits.
• To make the sauce: Put the chocolate, cream, corn syrup and sugar in a medium pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts and comes to a light simmer, about 5 minutes. Still stirring, let it burble for a minute or two, then scrape it into a heatproof container. Use immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed.
• To make the sundaes: If necessary, warm the fudge sauce in a double boiler, or microwave on low. For each sundae, sprinkle some salted chocolate bits and almonds in the bottom of a bowl, snifter or sundae glass. Top with a scoop or two of coffee ice cream, some hot fudge sauce, almonds and bits. Finish with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream, fudge sauce, whipped cream, almonds and chocolate bits. Serve immediately with a long spoon.

HOT FUDGE SUNDAE

Steps:

• Whisk the cream, sugar, and corn syrup in a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over medium heat until dissolved, 1 minute. Whisk in the chocolate and salts and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching the bottom, 40-45 minutes. Toward the end of the cooking time, the chocolate mixture will begin to separate, with the oil on top of the solids. This is, in fact, what you're looking for. Turn off the heat.
• With the heat off, add the butter and vanilla to the separated chocolate mixture. Whisk to bring the fudge together, 1-2 minutes. It'll be smooth, silky, and homogeneous. If it's very thick, you can purée it in a food processor, adding water 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth. Makes 4 cups. (Can be stored in the refrigerator up to 6 months. For gift-giving, spoon cooled fudge into Mason jars with tight-fitting lids, and include a reminder to refrigerate.)
• Sundae assembly: Pour 1 tablespoon cherry juice into the bottom of a sundae glass. Add 2-3 scoops of ice cream, followed by 2-3 tablespoons (or more!) of hot fudge. Stir some cherry juice into the whipped cream and spoon it on top. Finish with pistachios, a drizzle of cherry juice, and two cherries. Serve immediately.
