hot fudge

Warm chocolate topping

Hot fudge is a thick, rich chocolate sauce served warm, typically poured over ice cream.

It's denser and more intensely chocolatey than ordinary chocolate syrup, and it firms up slightly when it hits the cold ice cream: a hot fudge sundae.

The contrast of warm sauce and cold ice cream is the point.
