Hot Fudge Cake Ice Cream Topping

How can you resist a recipe whose title contains the words fudge, cake, and ice cream?!  I was actually trying to make a variation of cake pops, but this turned out to be a very tasty mistake. This rich chocolate concoction is great heated up for ice cream topping, and tastes just like it sounds - like a warm piece of fudge cake a la mode.  You can't find any ice cream in the freezer?  Grab a big spoon and enjoy a scoop straight out of the fridge!  

Hot Fudge Cake Ice Cream Topping

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 Tbs. butter

2 1/2 cups chocolate cake crumbs

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1/8 cup milk

1/4 tsp. vanilla

Melt chips and butter in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally until mixture is smooth.  Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes.  Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine cake crumbs and sugar.  Gently stir milk and vanilla into melted chocolate.  Add chocolate mixture to cake mixture and combine thoroughly.  Store topping in a covered container in the refrigerator.

To use, simply heat up some mixture in the microwave as you would hot fudge topping and pour over ice cream.  It is a little thick, so I usually end up topping my fudge with ice cream   ;)  Enjoy!
