I remember my mother’s homemade chocolate sauce very well. She didn’t make it all that often, usually also around the time that she would make homemade ice cream. The taste of it is, however, firmly imprinted on the part of my brain that stores childhood food memories. There’s only been a few times that I’ve eaten another product that even came close to the same thing. Slickepott Fudge Sauce is one of these.
This recipe was originally created in 2011 for Nuts+Nuts and published on their website as well as on The Experimental Gourmand.
I first got to know Cyrilla Suwarsa, co-founder of Nuts+Nuts, at the New Amsterdam Holiday Market back in December. She was there selling the farm-direct gourmet cashews that her company imports from farmers in Indonesia, her home country. When I tasted her cashews, I was instantly struck by how flavorful and meaty they seemed. She explained that this is because the Indonesian kind is a different variety from the ones that are usually available from South America and are typically found in the U.S.
