"You'll never need or want storebought hot fudge again after making your own in under 10 minutes. It's so easy that it's dangerous. The hot fudge is thick, rich, dense, fudgy, very intensely chocolaty and not overly sweet. Serve over ice cream, brownies, cakes, cookies, waffles, pancakes, or just find a spoon and dig in...."

•
2/3 cup heavy cream (I used half-and-half)
