There are few things in life I like better than a good dipping sauce. The right sauce can elevate any meal, including dessert! These three sauces are each fantastic and can be used in so many different ways to add a little something to your next baked good.The dipping sauces are the perfect thing to bring to a party along with a dessert. It makes everything feel just a tiny bit fancier. Try these at the next wedding or baby shower you throw and see. Classic dessert sauces are perfect on a Dessert Charcuterie Board. This fun charcuterie board we made for Valentine’s Day.
How to Make Chocolate Sauce
Nutella fans, rejoice! This will probably be your favorite chocolate dipping sauce, as the ingredients are simple Nutella, milk, and butter. Again, mix together over low heat to get this smooth and creamy chocolate sauce that you will want to eat with a spoon!
Nutella – This is a famous brand that has a hazelnut and chocolate blend in a jar. You can find it at most grocery stores by the peanut butter. Milk – Makes the chocolate sauce thinner and creamier. Butter – Gives richness to the sauce and that beautiful glossy color.
How to Make Raspberry Sauce
It only takes two ingredients, not including water, and about 5 minutes to make this delicious raspberry sauce. This dipping sauce uses raspberry preserves as a base. You can also use seedless raspberry jam if you prefer. Simply add some vanilla and water, and mix well over low heat. The vanilla and raspberry flavors are incredible together!
Raspberry preserves – Raspberry flavoring Water – Helps cook the raspberry sauce giving it more of a smooth base rather than a thick chunky sauce. Vanilla – Added in for flavor!
How to Make Caramel Sauce
Out of these three sauces, this dipping sauce usually takes a little more time but is so worth it! You will need both brown and white sugar to make this sauce, along with several other ingredients. The key with this sauce is to stir the mixture continually until it is smooth. Be patient, you are in for a treat!
Granulated sugar and brown sugar – Stir the sugars together for a texture and added sweetness! Water – Lightens the sugars and helps the sauce be more Unsalted butter – The butter gives the homemade caramel sauce a smooth and rich flavor with a glossy appearance. Heavy cream – Added in for thick and creamy sauce. Vanilla extract – Gives a beautiful caramel brown coloring to the sauce while boosting the sauce with flavor. Salt – Balances out all the flavors together!
