Raspberry Fudge Sauce

Raspberry Fudge Sauce is a super easy and quick chocolate sauce to top ice cream and other sweet summer desserts. Or just dive right in with a spoon and eat it straight from the jar.


Raspberry Fudge Sauce - a super easy and quick chocolate sauce to top ice cream

I find it difficult to not be a planner. I think about what I need to do, how to do it, and figure out at least one back up plan in case the first plan didn’t work out. I plan out my to do lists for the day, for the week, and even for the month, sometimes several months if I know my weekends are busy. When I can’t plan ahead, I stress out because I have a bad case of the what ifs. It’s as if I’m trying to navigate in a room I’ve never seen before while wearing a blindfold. I stumble and may even stub my toe (which hurts worse than hitting a wall), but eventually I figure it out and come out smarter than before. I really do believe everything works out the way it’s meant to be. Most of my recipes I plan ahead, but I made up this Raspberry Fudge Sauce due to an abundance of raspberries in my fridge. Ok so it didn’t stress me out as much as deciding where to live or what career path to choose, but I hate wasting berries because they go moldy SO fast. This chocolate sauce is a little tart, a little sweet, and a little unplanned. If you need dessert at the last minute, you can throw together this sauce and serve it on ice cream.

I got the idea for this raspberry fudge sauce recipe when I made my Strawberry Sauce. Why can’t I just take it one step further and make a chocolate sauce? The raspberries cook down in about 5 minutes. Once the sauce is cooked, I whisked in chopped semisweet chocolate and a little heavy cream to thin it out a bit. The sweetness of the sauce depends on your raspberries. If they are really tart, then you may need to add more sugar to balance it out.

If you do find yourself not using your raspberries before they go moldy, you can easily freeze them. Place them in a single layer on a cookie sheet or plate then freeze. Once frozen, place the berries into a freezer bag. That way the berries do not stick to each other. When you’re ready to use the raspberries, let them thaw completely. You get discard the extra juices for this recipe, but other recipes may vary.

    OMG! I am also a major planner! My weeks menu is posted on the fridge every Monday , I know what I am doing weeks in advance but also can be spontaneous when called for. This is the very first recipe you have ever posted that I didn’t want to hurry up and make. I do not like fruit and chocolate together but if I did I am sure this would be very good.

    What a lovely sauce. Hooray for potentially moldy berries! Plus here is a situation that you were reinforced for being spontaneous and unplanned! And we all benefited.

    How’s heavy whipping cream different from heavy cream? Is it whipping cream by another name?

      Here’s an explanation as to the difference: http://www.popsugar.com/food/Difference-Between-Heavy-Cream-Whipping-Cream-13491580 You can use either one in this recipe.

    There was a lovely little raspberry farm in west Nebraska that used to jar this sauce and sell it. They’ve recently gone out of business and I can’t live without my raspberry fudge dessert topper so thank you for the recipe. The only difference in ingredients is they used a touch of butter rather than cream in their’s. It can be put into small canning jars and preserved so you can enjoy all year long.

      Glad you were able to find this recipe to bring you back memories! And you can certainly use butter instead of cream as both accomplish the same function. I’d probably start with 1 tablespoon then taste to see if it needs more.
