Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce

What goes perfect with homemade ice-cream and makes it even that much better?  Lots and LOTS of homemade hot fudge!
This stuff is amazing!  And goes great with bananas if you need a quick late night snack.  Just ask Kim and Nicki.  But be forewarned....you always have way more bananas left over than you do hot fudge!

Ingredients:

4 eggs
2 1/4 c sugar
5 c milk
4 c heaving whipping cream
4 1/2 vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
If you're adding fruit - deduct the amount of crushed fruit you add from the amount of milk)

Whip eggs well.  Add sugar to whipped eggs gradually.  Keep whipping till thick.  Continue to beat until very stiff (don't forget to get the edges).  Add remaining ingredients and mix.  Pour into ice cream maker and freeze till done.  (Follow your ice cream maker instructions)
