Hot Fudge Sauce

My friend Tamara gave me this recipe years ago. I’m not sure where she found it, but I do know that it’s delicious beyond words and obscenely fantastic drizzled over pies, ice cream and just about anything else you can sink your teeth into.

In a heavy saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, cream and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in cocoa powder, whisking continuously.
