Cook: 30 min
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup butter
  2. 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  3. 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  4. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  5. Dash salt
  6. 1 tablespoon Dutch cocoa (highly recommended: Droste’s)
  7. 6 flour tortillas
  8. Vegetable oil (enough to fill a medium saucepan or deep fryer)
  9. 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  10. 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  11. 1/2 quart vanilla bean ice cream
  12. 1 can light whipped cream
  13. Chopped peanuts
  14. 6 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  1. To make hot fudge:
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add whipping cream and bring to a rapid boil (be careful not to burn). Add both brown and granulated sugars and cook over low to medium heat, until sugar has dissolved. Add the salt and the cocoa to mixture, simmer for 10 minutes more, stirring constantly. This is enough fudge for 6 generous portions ¿ any unused fudge has a life of about 7 days refrigerated.
  3. To make crispy shell (see Cook’s Note): Using a large soup ladle and a metal strainer with a handle (similar size to ladle), wrap flour tortilla around the bottom of the ladle (into a bowl shape) and hold to the ladle with the strainer. Fry the tortilla in hot oil (in a saucepan or deep fryer) until crispy. Dust with powdered sugar and cinnamon.
  4. To assemble:
  5. Scoop 3 scoops of ice cream into a shell. Top with your desired amount of hot fudge. Add whipped cream, nuts and cherry and serve. Repeat for multiple shells (there is enough hot fudge for 6 generous portions).

I enjoyed this. It was fun to make as I did it with my 13 year old daughter who is showing a great interest in cooking. She plans to be on Food Network one day with me as her sidekick 😉 And to think I am the one teaching her to cook! lol. Fudge sauce was great though. Will make it again
