Kahlua Hot Fudge Sauce Recipe

Sunday, July 25, 2021
If you're a fan of Kahlua and hot fudge sauce, this thick delicious topping will be your new favorite chocolate addiction.

With just a few ingredients, this thick Kahlua hot fudge sauce is a chocolate lover's dream.

Of course, for kid-friendly just omit the Kahlua and add more vanilla, we split this recipe in half and make both with one batch just stir in the flavoring of choice at the end.

If you haven't tried making your own homemade hot fudge sauce in your own kitchen, after one taste you will never buy store-bought again, this is better than any jarred out there.

We use this as a topping on cheesecake, brownies, cakes, ice cream, and just about any dessert that needs a chocolate fudge topping on it.

Addicting Hot Fudge Sauce



I have to admit I am a big fan of hot fudge sauce on ice cream with whipped cream, a cherry, and any kind of nuts, (preferably macadamia or pistachios) but this delectable sauce will turn a plain cake, cheesecake, or brownies into a new level of yum!

This adult-style fudgy dessert is off the charts and decadently delicious with  Kahlua in it, 

This recipe is super simple and if you love the liqueur itself try our Homemade Kahlua recipe!

Adapt Away



Remember any extract can replace the Kahlua.

One combination we love is coconut and hot fudge over a slice of pound cake or brownies.

Make a cheesecake and add crushed macadamia nuts, crushed toffee bars, and hot fudge, it is a gourmet delight.

No matter what your favorite flavor of ice cream is, this is a delicious addition.

Just get creative there are so many uses, and if you can't use it up fast enough this hot fudge sauce can be frozen in a plastic container for up to 3 months thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
