Glorious Fudge Ice Cream Sauce (Microwave Recipe)

I received a message from my Aunt Mieke today, thanking me for sharing my recipes on this blog, and I thought back to my childhood days. Many weekends and school holidays were spent babysitting her baby boys and sewing, soap making, baking or Cooking with her. I tribute my love for all things homey to my very creative Mom, Grandmother and Aunt Mieke. Their passions sparked a flame in me! Anyway, taking this trip down memory lane reminded me of her glorious Fudge Ice Cream sauce. It's loaded with calories but is worth every drop! (It make a lot, so is good for a crowd, else halve the recipe)

Amazing Fudge!

This is my Sister, Danielle Russell's recipe. It's fairly easy to make, although it requires your full attention. Don't intend to help kids with homework or run a bath while you make this! I also recommend that you get all your ingredients measured, chopped and opened BEFORE you start. (And grease your baking tray too!) Lellie, I think of you every time I make it! <3 <3 <3

Amazing Fudge!

Ingredients:
2 Small soup ladles (80ml each) of Milk
10 Small soup Ladles of White Sugar
70g Butter
1 Tin Condensed Milk
1 Slab Chocolate (100g)

Method:
1. Use a LARGE pot and put the milk and sugar into it. (The sugar should be just wet, not runny, add more sugar if neccessary.)
2. Stir this over low heat until the sugar dissolves.
3. Now turn up the heat until it boils, stirring continuously.
4. Add butter and tin of condensed milk. Stir while it boils until you notice that it starts to thicken.
* If its like smooth toffee it's not ready.
* If it rises and becomes very frothy then it's ready. Remove from heat.
5. Quickly add the chopped chocolate slab and mix quickly.
6. Pour into a well greased baking tray, it will fill it, and smooth it on top. Be warned that it hardens quickly.
7. When it is dry to the touch you can cut it into blocks, before it hardens. You can use a ruler to be precise if you want perfect squares.

Makes about 60 squares
