Everything you need to know about our dessert sauces—flavours, uses, recipes, FAQs, and how to order.
What is a dessert sauce?
A dessert sauce is a sweet, pourable or spoonable accompaniment used to drizzle, swirl, fill or glaze desserts. The right sauce adds sheen, aroma, moisture and flavour contrast—turning a good dessert into a showstopper. At Pedro Davi, our sauces are crafted for versatility: drizzling over ice cream, layering in cakes, swirling through gelato, finishing pancakes and waffles, and elevating café drinks.

How to Use Sauces (Chef-Approved Ideas)
Drizzle & Plate
Use two contrasting sauces (e.g., chocolate + white chocolate) to create swirls, brush streaks and dots. Finish with a warm drizzle for shine.
Fill & Layer
Layer sauce between sponge, pipe into cupcakes or eclairs, and marble through cheesecake batter before baking.
Ripple Through Frozen Desserts
Fold dessert sauce through gelato or soft serve at the last stage for ribbons of flavour and texture.
Coffee & Shakes
Add a spoon of sauce to mochas, frappes and milkshakes; drizzle inside the cup for café-style presentation.
Breakfast & Brunch
Warm sauces are perfect over waffles, pancakes and French toast—finish with nuts or fruit for crunch and colour.
