FABULOUS HOT FUDGE SAUCE RECIPE

Ingredients:
------------
3/4 cup soft brown sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tblsp cornstarch
1/2 cup plus 3 tblsp boiling water
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions:
-------------
Place the first 3 ingredients into a 4 cup pyrex measuring cup (or tall
sided microwave safe container). Whisk the dry ingredients together
until thoroughly mixed and no trace of lumps exists.
Add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons boiling water to the dry ingredients and
whisk until smooth.
Microwave on HIGH for 4 minutes or until quite thick ,stirring midway.
Keep a careful watch on it.It should not overflow but it will boil up
quite a lot.
Remove from microwave and stir in vanilla.Serve.
This sauce refrigerates to an even thicker consistency for use as a cold
chocolate sauce or as a dip for sliced fruit and can be reheated to
serve hot again.
Note:
-----
I recommend using a European-style (non-alkalized) cocoa (not Hershey
type) because the flavor of the sauce is better but either will work.
BTW, Cocoa does contain a small amount of fat depending on quality and
brand, it is not totally fat free.
