Randomguy Posted February 17, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2022 I can think of exactly zero scenarios where I would want hot fudge instead of chocolate sauce on ice cream. Ice cream is cold and I want it to remain cold, not devolved into a melty mess. Discus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted February 17, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 17, 2022 My favorite ice cream thing is a vanilla milkshake turned into chocolate with some choco sauce. Add walnuts for crunch. Delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sheep_herder ★ Posted February 17, 2022 Popular Post Share #9 Posted February 17, 2022 Good hot fudge firms up soon after it hits the cold ice cream. Very little melting occurs.

I like both a hot fudge sundae or ice cream with a drizzle of chocolate syrup, but the HFS will be the better of the two by a noticeable margin. Can't get a HFS? Sure, chocolate syrup will work. But if an HFS is an option, it's the better one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a place in Grand Island years ago that made the best fried ice cream! They coated the ice cream in honey, then rolled it in crushed Frosted Flakes and Red Hots. Once fried, they drizzled a little chocolate syrup over it. They closed because they were ahead of their time. They could open today with the same menu and be a huge success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one near Ft Myer we went to often. My 21’st bday was had there. VA changed the drinking law to 21 for beer & wine a few months before my 21st bday… I could still drink on base but was shut out from off post drinking for a few months. We broke the dry spell at Chi Chi’s 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted February 17, 2022 Share #22 Posted February 17, 2022 So each has it's place. If just a bowl of ice cream, sure pour a bit of chocolate sauce on. But in the case of a sundae, the topping can and in many cases should be warm. Fudge, caramel and marshmallow come to mind and of course then there must be whipped cream, nuts and the requisite number of cherries, which should be at least one cherry per scoop of ice cream. 1 hour ago, sheep_herder said: Good hot fudge firms up soon after it hits the cold ice cream. Very little melting occurs. Much, much better than runny chocolate syrup. The answer above should put his issue to rest, as Mr. Herder is 100% correct. We are talking warm, not hot really. What you have to understand is the fudge or caramel, in it's natural state is really a solid and heat must be applied to make it a liquid, or at least fluid enough to be pumped onto a scoop of ice cream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tizeye Posted February 18, 2022 Share #35 Posted February 18, 2022 After forcing myself to do a controlled taste test with ample serving of both and adding additional tests with variations with walnuts and fruits, such as bananas, the results are in. While woul;dn't turn down either, by a wide margin, hot fudge wins. It's consistency, texture and other were unmatched. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
