Tips & Notes

- Check the ice cream label. Many plain vanilla ice creams are free of gluten, but some contain cookie pieces or other add-ins with gluten, or are made on shared lines, so pick one labeled gluten-free.
- Make the hot fudge ahead and refrigerate it for up to 1 week. Rewarm it in short bursts in the microwave.
