Dipping Dessert Sauces

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. Dessert sauces are perfect on a Dessert Charcuterie Board. Click HERE to see a fun charcuterie board we made for Valentine’s Day.

What to Dip in Dessert Sauces?

The possibilities are endless with this yummy trio of dipping sauces. Originally, I made these to accompany our mini beignet recipe, but once I created them, I kept finding new ways to use each of the dipping sauces. Here are a few things to try:

New Orleans Mini BeignetsHomemade DonutsHomemade BrowniesChocolate WafflesCheesecakeServe over ice creamFresh Fruit (bananas, strawberries, apples, etc)Store-bought cookies, wafers, graham crackersMarshmallowsDrizzle over popcorn

How to Make Chocolate Sauce

Nutella fans, rejoice! This will probably be your favorite of the dipping sauces, 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!

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!

How to Make Caramel Sauce

Out of these three sauces, this dipping sauce will take the most time (but it’s still very manageable). However, this is probably my favorite of the three, so it is well worth the effort. 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.
