Method

Hot Fudge Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Hot Fudge Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cocoa powder and sugar. Stir in butter and cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and begins to bubble. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.

Caramel Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Caramel Sauce

    In another saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns a golden amber color, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, add in the butter and stir until melted. Carefully whisk in the cream and sea salt until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sundae Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Sundae

    In a large serving bowl, scoop 2 cups of vanilla ice cream. Pour hot fudge sauce generously over the ice cream, followed by caramel sauce. Top with wet walnuts. Add another scoop of ice cream on top if desired, and repeat the sauces and walnuts. Serve immediately.
