Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Layer the hot fudge and amaretto syrup in the cup before pouring espresso to prevent them from settling at the bottom and to distribute flavor evenly.
Steam milk to 150–155°F for a thin, velvety microfoam that complements the rich fudge without overpowering the amaretto notes.
Use hot fudge sauce directly from the jar or gently warmed; adding it to boiling espresso prevents it from seizing and ensures smooth blending.
For a garnish, drizzle extra hot fudge sauce on top of the foam and dust lightly with cocoa powder or crushed amaretti cookies.

Substitutions

Amaretto syrup → hazelnut or almond extract syrup (similar nuttiness, adjust sweetness)
Hot fudge sauce → chocolate ganache or melted dark chocolate (thinner consistency, less stable)
Espresso → strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate (less intensity, no crema)
Whole milk → oat milk or 2% milk (lighter mouthfeel, thinner foam)

Storage & make-ahead

This is a fresh drink best served immediately. Make-ahead: prepare hot fudge and amaretto syrup separately and store in sealed containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; gently reheat sauces before use.

Equipment

espresso machine · milk frother or steam wand · kitchen thermometer (optional, for precise milk temperature)

Common Questions

Can I make this without an espresso machine?

Strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate can substitute for espresso in a pinch, though the flavor and crema will differ. For best results, use an espresso machine or visit a local café for shots.

How do I make the hot fudge sauce from scratch?

Melt butter and cocoa powder together, then whisk in sugar, cream, and vanilla. Heat until smooth and pourable. Store homemade sauce in the refrigerator and reheat gently before use.
