Abstract
A fudge sauce which is flowable at freezer temperatures and a ready-to-eat dessert including it are provided. The fudge sauce comprises water, a mixture of saccharides to control the freezing point with balanced sweetness, a starch effective to build viscosity at freezer temperatures, a fat component to provide a desirable mouthfeel and a hydrophilic colloid to stabilize the viscosity. Desirably, the fudge sauce exhibits a relatively stable viscosity within the range of normal serving temperatures. In one embodiment, the sauce is combined as a center filling in an ice cream bar.
