I searched google. All the recipes have the same ingredients but different amounts. I tried 2 recipes. Both times I followed the recipe to a T and was not happy with the results. Too liquidy (missing the thick syrupy texture) and does not taste good plain. Both recipes are fine for chocolate milk but horrible for ice cream.

This is very good and fudgy:

but when you put it in the fridge it really solidifies so it has to be used warmish (haven't tried room temperature).

I used it in this recipe http://www.chewoutloud.com/201.....away/ and then we enjoyed the leftovers.

don't know if you want something think, but here the original recipe for hot fudge from schrafft's:

in heavy saucepan mix 2 T of cocoa, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth

stir in 1/2 cup more heavy cream, 1/2 cup of light corn syrup, 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, 1 T salted butter and a few drops cider vinegar (or really any vinegar)

bring to a boil, stirring. boil over medium heat for 7-8 minutes (or until mixture reaches 220-225 on a candy thermometer if you have one. I just eyeball.)

remove from heat and add 1/2 t of vanilla extract. let sit a few minutes.

thank you sky. That recipe is totally different then the ones Ive seen until now.
But I dont have some of those ingredients. Can I use chocolate chips for the sweet chocolate? Can I use margarine instead of butter because I want to keep it pareve? And what is heavy cream?

You might microwave the chips in a small bowl or pitcher with a little bland oil. Only a little. Stir with a fork when it comes out and pour away. Or drip it off the edge of a spoon.

Rayna Simnegar did that for chocolate dripppings to garnish a cake with. I suppose for a bit of chocolate taste but probably mainly for the look of it. It's very dressy looking. The ice cream will survive on its own, for taste, perhaps.

I made it pareve (my substitutions are in red)

3 oz semi sweet chocolate - used chocolate chips (I just eyeballed the amount - like 1/3 of a 9 oz bag.)
1/2 cup heavy cream - Rich's Whip Cream
6 TB brown sugar
2 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
1 TB regular salted butter - marg (I think I even used oil because I didn't have marg in the house but not sure.)
1 tsp vanilla extract
small pinch kosher salt

What about a peanut butter sauce. I once made this to serve on top of store bought ice cream for a simcha, at the request of the host, and it was very good.

do NOT rely on these measurements - because I haven't made it in a while and if you are interested create a post asking for the recipe (I think it is common).

Equal parts corn syrup, peanut butter, chocolate syrup.

it made a very fudgy yummy ice cream sauce.

Thanks. I don't think I even boiled when I made it, just mixed.
