Morphology
hot-fudge + sauce
The meaning 'a thick, rich chocolate sauce served hot' is directly inferable from the constituents: 'hot' (warm), 'fudge' (a chocolate confection) and 'sauce' (a condiment). Although 'hot-fudge' may not appear as a separate dictionary entry, the modifier+noun+noun composition is straightforward and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun hot-fudge sauce comes from heating thick fudge until it becomes a pourable sauce and serving it warm. So, it means a thick, hot chocolate 'topping' you pour over ice cream.
