After I baked this cake recipe for my birthday, the cake looked good but a little plain so I decided to throw together something for the top. I love the pairing of raspberries with chocolate so I decided to make a raspberry chocolate sauce to go on top. I had no clue how it would turn out but I’m happy to report it was perfect. Heated, the sauce is easy to work with and at room temperature it hardened to a semi-soft, fudge consistency which was easy to cut through. It was great on cake but would be good over ice cream, too.
Raspberry Fudge Sauce
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons maple syrup(or any liquid sweetener)
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat the raspberries over low heat in a sauce pan until they’ve reduced to about half their volume and cooked down to a sauce.
Toss in the chocolate chips, butter, maple syrup, and salt and mix until the butter and chocolate chips have melted. Frost or scoop over ice cream while the sauce is still warm and liquid.
I should have made extra to eat with a spoon; one year older, still not wise enough.
I would totally eat that even without the cake, but why when I can have cake?
holy yum sauce I need this so bad right now!
My husband would go crazy for this. Thanks for the recipe!!!
I’m pretty sure I would eat this over cat poop. You know…if it came to that.
For those nights when no one wants to cook? I hear ya.
Maybe you just just pour it into a pan, let it solidify, and flat out call it fudge.
Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous!
Yummmm… So you totally recommend making a batch JUST for eating with a spoon right? I think I have raspberries in the freezer. I think I might make this later today 😀
That cake looks delicious!
I have all these ingredients! I may need to make this tonight.
Not going to lie- I always make extra frosting / sauce to eat by itself. One of the many nuggets of wisdom that comes with age 🙂

Oh dear heavens. I need this, now, in a bowl, with a spoon.
