Add the butter, sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, cocoa powder and salt in a small pot over medium heat. Bring to a low simmer, stirring frequently, until everything is well combined and melted together, about 3-5 minutes.
2 tablespoons salted butter, 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk, 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, pinch salt
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, coffee grounds (optional), and vanilla, stirring until the chocolate chips completely melt.
This makes a very thick hot fudge, so add heavy cream to this mixture, a little at a time, until it reaches your ideal thickness. Be sure to fully incorporate the cream before adding more.
1/4 cup heavy cream
Immediately serve over ice cream, or pour into a pint size mason jar and refrigerate for future use.
