fudge sauce

Sundae's dark drizzle

Fudge sauce is a thick, rich chocolate topping made from cocoa or melted chocolate, butter, sugar, and cream.

It's poured warm over ice cream, brownies, or cake: a hot fudge sundae.

Unlike chocolate syrup, fudge sauce is denser and often served heated so it stays pourable but thickens as it cools.
