(Watch the video here.) Now that you’ve mastered that classic dessert sauce, try one of these: 1. Classic Butterscotch Sauce Sticky and deeply flavorful, this sauce is the perfect ice cream topping. 2. Strawberry Sauce Fresh strawberries, orange zest, white wine and anise come together in this bright sauce. 3. Hot Fudge Sauce This hot fudge sauce is perfect: Rich and shiny, it gets pleasantly chewy when it hits cold ice cream. 4. Classic Crème Anglaise This deceptively simple sauce makes any dessert more elegant. 5. Salted Caramel Sauce Perfect on a fruit tart or ice cream sundae, this salty-sweet sauce keeps for two weeks in the fridge. 6. Fresh Blueberry Sauce This four-ingredient sauce is so easy to make. 7. Chocolate Shell F&W’s Justin Chapple makes his version of Magic Shell (a sauce that quickly hardens when poured over cold things) with coconut oil to give it additional flavor. 8. Praline Sauce Take sweet-potato pie over the top with this nutty sauce. How to Make Caramel Sauce16 Great Ice Cream Sundaes16 Gooey Desserts Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
