Hot Fudge Sauce Over Vanilla Ice Cream

1. 1

   In a heavy saucepan melt the chocolate with the butter and the corn syrup over moderately low heat.

2. 2

   Stirring, add the cream and the sugar, and cook the mixture, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.

3. 3

   Bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat and boil it, without stirring, for 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and the salt.

5. 5

   Scoop ice cream into four serving dishes and pour hot fudge sauce over vanilla ice cream.

6. 6

   The sauce keeps, covered and chilled, for 1 month.

7. 7

   (Let the sauce cool completely before covering it; any condensation will make it grainy.

8. 8

   Reheat the sauce, uncovered, in a double boiler.)
