• NOTE: W/the combined sweetness of the canned pears, cinnamon candies & ice cream used for the sundaes -- I would be inclined to reduce the sugar amt in the sauce to 1/2 cup.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, sugar, corn syrup or honey, cocoa, and salt to a simmer, whisking until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the chocolate and let cook until the chocolate melts. Stir in butter and vanilla or liquor. Let cool slightly. Contrary to its name, hot fudge is best served warm, not piping hot.
• For assembly, make the whipped cream. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Pour a little fudge sauce into the bottoms of sundae dishes or bowls. Top with ice cream, then more hot fudge, then nuts if using. Cover all with whipped cream and a cherry if you like. Serve.

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until it has melted and begins to bubble, 1 to 2 minutes. Continue cooking until it turns light amber in color, 1 to 2 minutes longer, making sure to watch very closely to prevent burning. Immediately add the butter and cream and whisk until combined (it will bubble and boil, but just keep whisking!).
• Add the diced Asian pear to the caramel and cook until the pear is al dente, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and salt and serve over your favorite ice cream with a dollop of whipped cream.
