Hey, so you know those times when you find yourself desperately reaching for that pint of ice cream in the freezer, but it’s been A Day, and you really need something more than just ice cream? Like, ice cream’s a great healer of many things, but some days call for the big guns.

Some days call for ice cream + chocolate sauce.

And if you’re like me, trying, sometimes succeeding, to eat healthy most of the time, you probably don’t just keep chocolate sauce in your fridge. You could whip out a pot and make a traditional homemade hot fudge sauce on the stove–it’s pretty easy. You should do it sometime. BUT there’s a chance that if this is a day that requires ice cream and chocolate sauce, it is not a day for cooking.

So for those days, here’s a two-ingredient fudge sauce recipe you can make in the microwave in 30 seconds. If you have cream or milk, some chocolate chips, and a functioning microwave, there’s nothing standing between you and a hot fudge sundae.

This easy chocolate sauce is a life-saver when you're craving a sundae NOW.

And it’s going to be a superb hot fudge sundae. Technically this easy chocolate sauce is a chocolate ganache, but it’s chocolatey, amazing, and so there for you when you need it. It starts out warm and gooey, and by the time your ice cream is all melty and the chocolate has cooled a little bit, it thickens up and becomes almost fudge-like pooled at the bottom of your bowl (or mug, or whatever ice cream dispensing container you are eating out of).

What I’m saying is that basically, it’s heaven, and after the week we’ve just had (seriously, F this week), we deserve oodles of it.

It doesn't get easier than this 2-ingredient, 30-second Easy Chocolate Sauce.

      Yes, as long as it’s not unsweetened or dark chocolate above 70% (any higher and the sauce might break). Hope you enjoy it!

    So glad I came across this yummy sounding recipe. I used to have a recipe that called for cocoa powder, milk, and butter cooked in the microwave. I don’t have any cocoa powder right now, but do have some chocolate chips.

    My husband had a craving for chocolate sauce over his vanilla ice cream and there was no bottle of Hershey’s in sight lol!! Luckily I found this genius recipe!! I love that it only makes a little bit- having too much chocolate sauce around is quite dangerous! Thanks for posting this – yum!

    This looks so easy and fabulous! Can I make this ahead of time? I’m going to a ladies luncheon and was asked to bring dessert. Pound cake with strawberries and raspberries with chocolate sauce would be a hit. Will this sauce stay a sauce for two to three hours? If so, can I reheat it in a microwave when we are ready for dessert?

        Hi Tracy,
        I did make this sauce a day ahead of time. It heated up beautifully in the microwave. Just 10 seconds and a quick stir and it was fabulous! Thank you for the great recipe! It was a big hit!
