About Sauce au chocolat

Sauce au chocolat is a sweet sauce made with chocolate or cocoa-based ingredients and intended to be poured, spooned or drizzled over desserts. Recipes may combine chocolate with water, milk, cream, butter or sweeteners, and the name does not specify their proportions. It is used as a topping or accompaniment rather than identifying a single standardized product.

It is usually smooth and glossy, with a brown colour and a chocolate-forward flavour that ranges from bittersweet to sweet. Warm versions tend to be fluid, while chilled or higher-solid versions can become thicker. It may be prepared at home or sold ready-made, in pourable, chilled or shelf-stable forms.
