XRP ETFs are on the verge of hitting a significant milestone, with total Assets Under Management (AUM) approaching the $1 billion milestone. Since the launch of its ETF last month, hundreds of millions of dollars have been flowing in daily, making XRP the most successful new ETF entrant of 2025.
XRP ETFs Close In On $1 Billion
XRP ETFs have continued to experience skyrocketing growth and institutional demand, now rapidly closing in on the $1 billion inflow milestone. Over the past two weeks, all five XRP ETFs have recorded over $984.54 million in cumulative net inflows, just $15.46 million away from $1 billion. This explosive, accelerated growth has effectively solidified XRP’s position as the third-largest crypto ETF, behind Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Data from Sosovalue reports 15 consecutive days of positive flow, with the XRP ETF recording its highest single-day inflow on November 14 at $243.05 million. Over the last two weeks, all five XRP ETFs, including REX-Osprey, have seen notable inflows, reflecting growing institutional interest and demand.
According to crypto enthusiast @NADZOE93 on X, XRP has become the third cryptocurrency ever to surpass the $800 million ETF inflow threshold. She noted that while Spot Bitcoin ETFs reached this cap in just two days after their launch, Ethereum ETFs took 95 days. This officially positions XRP as the second-fastest crypto to hit the $800 million inflow mark.
Notably, strong inflows in the XRP ETF began on November 13 with the launch of Canary Capitals XRPC. A week later, Bitwise introduced its own XRP ETF, followed shortly by Grayscale and Franklin Templeton debuting their funds. Since then, investments have continued to pour in, with $26.17 million flowing in just yesterday alone, bringing the total to $887.12 million after 15 days of positive flow.
Crypto market analyst Neil Tolbert shared additional insights on the XRP ETF performance on X this week. He noted that five spot XRP ETFs are currently trading, with a combined $995 million in Assets Under Management. Canary Capital’s XRPC stands at the top of the market with $358.88 million, followed by Grayscale’s GXRP with $211.07 million, Bitwise’s ETF at $184.87 million, Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ at $132.3 million, and REX-Osprey at $108 million.
Tolbert has stated that more ETFs are reportedly in the pipeline, with institutional demand set to grow as traditional finance takes notice of XRP. With the race to a $1 billion inflow milestone heating up, XRP ETFs have already surpassed those of Solana and Dogecoin.
Institutions Accumulate Over 400 Million XRP Through ETFs
Institutional demand for XRP is reaching new heights as data from ETF tracker XRP Insights show that a whopping 425.76 million tokens have been officially locked. This surge in accumulation comes as the five currently launched XRP ETFs collectively reach $984.54 million in AUM.
This large amount of XRP held in ETFs shows how quickly institutions are adopting, as investors increasingly seek regulated, transparent ways to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies. Analysts have also warned that if ETFs continue to absorb XRP at such a rapid pace, it could trigger a supply shock as the number of tokens in circulation declines.

LAS VEGAS — Matt Garman remembers sitting in an Amazon leadership meeting six or seven years ago, thinking about the future, when he identified what he considered a looming crisis.
Garman, who has since become the Amazon Web Services CEO, calculated that the company would eventually need to hire a million developers to deliver on its product roadmap. The demand was so great that he considered the shortage of software development engineers (SDEs) the company’s biggest constraint.
With the rise of AI, he no longer thinks that’s the case.
Speaking with Acquired podcast hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal at the AWS re:Invent conference Thursday afternoon, Garman told the story in response to Gilbert’s closing question about what belief he held firmly in the past that he has since completely reversed.
“Before, we had way more ideas than we could possibly get to,” he said. Now, “because you can deliver things so fast, your constraint is going to be great ideas and great things that you want to go after. And I would never have guessed that 10 years ago.”
He was careful to point out that Amazon still needs great software engineers. But earlier in the conversation, he noted that massive technical projects that once required “dozens, if not hundreds” of people might now be delivered by teams of five or 10, thanks to AI and agents.
Garman was the closing speaker at the two-hour event with the hosts of the hit podcast, following conversations with Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters, J.P. Morgan Payments Global Co-Head Max Neukirchen, and Perplexity Co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas.
A few more highlights from Garman’s comments:
Generative AI, including Bedrock, represents a multi-billion dollar business for Amazon. Asked to quantify how much of AWS is now AI-related, Garman said it’s getting harder to say, as AI becomes embedded in everything.
Speaking off-the-cuff, he told the Acquired hosts that Bedrock is a multi-billion dollar business. Amazon clarified later that he was referring to the revenue run rate for generative AI overall. That includes Bedrock, which is Amazon’s managed service that offers access to AI models for building apps and services. [This has been updated since publication.]
How AWS thinks about its product strategy. Garman described a multi-layered approach to explain where AWS builds and where it leaves room for partners. At the bottom are core building blocks like compute and storage. AWS will always be there, he said.
In the middle are databases, analytics engines, and AI models, where AWS offers its own products and services alongside partners. At the top are millions of applications, where AWS builds selectively and only when it believes it has differentiated expertise.
Amazon is “particularly bad” at copying competitors. Garman was surprisingly blunt about what Amazon doesn’t do well. “One of the things that Amazon is particularly bad at is being a fast follower,” he said. “When we try to copy someone, we’re just bad at it.”
The better formula, he said, is to think from first principles about solving a customer problem, only when it believes it has differentiated expertise, not simply to copy existing products.

If you know the name Ron Gilbert, it’s probably for his decades of work on classic point-and-click adventure games like Maniac Mansion, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the Monkey Island series, and Thimbleweed Park. Given that pedigree, October’s release of the Gilbert-designed Death by Scrolling—a rogue-lite action-survival pseudo-shoot-em-up—might have come as a bit of a surprise.
In an interview from his New Zealand home, though, Gilbert noted that his catalog also includes some reflex-based games—Humungous Entertainment’s Backyard Sports titles and 2010’s Deathspank, for instance. And Gilbert said his return to action-oriented game design today stemmed from his love for modern classics like Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, and Dead Cells.
“I mean, I’m certainly mostly known for adventure games, and I have done other stuff, [but] it probably is a little bit of a departure for me,” he told Ars. “While I do enjoy playing narrative games as well, it’s not the only thing I enjoy, and just the idea of making one of these kind of started out as a whim.”
You’re going to love this smoked pumpkin pie recipe. It is the perfect dessert, with its golden, flaky crust and sweet, spiced pumpkin pie filling.

Terry Gerton: ERT works on, I guess, some of the most complex space and earth science missions. Tell us about maybe one breakthrough that’s really changed the game for how you support your defense clients.
Mark Lee: It’s actually a variety of defense and civilian clients. But a lot of what we have been focused on is this pivot to more focused on solutions. And a lot of the business that we work in, services has been sort of the name of the game. And that’s sort of, at this point, has connotations of just people in seats, just sort of staff augmentation. And there’s been a shift that’s happening in the industry, really shifting to more of a solution focus. And that’s really driven how we’re thinking about driving innovation, even reworking a lot of the processes in the company to be around a solution orientation, so making sure that when we’re thinking about what tools make sense to bring to a problem, everybody’s talking about AI and machine learning and all these things, those are extremely valuable tools and still sort of maturing and coming into their own. We’re really starting with the customer’s needs first because I think there’s a risk of so the tail wagging the dog, you see this set of tools and you want to apply it everywhere you can and we really want to come out the other way, like what are our clients’ problems? What tools are the most appropriate to those problems? And that’s really led us into addition to thinking about artificial intelligence, a lot around digital engineering, because in the areas that we work in, there’s all these applications, and by applying some of those principles, you can accelerate how quickly things can be done. You don’t have to wait. In the old days, they would build like two copies of a satellite so they could use one to test and one to launch. But you can now do that within a computer and that extends to the whole IT system to support the satellites and all that. So that’s really a place that we’ve been leaning in a much bigger way. And I think it really flowed directly from this focus on really our client’s problems and focus on what solutions to those problems will be most appropriate.
Terry Gerton: As you think about and build out that solutions approach, is there a particular move that’s helped you achieve scale without losing your technical edge or your mission focus?
Mark Lee: Coming into a company, when I joined ERT, they had been around for around 30 years, founder-owned, founder-led, and we had investment from Macquarie Capital, and that was when they brought me in. And we had a great team already at ERT, but I also had the opportunity to bring in a few leaders and, to me, building for scale is all about having the right people in the right seats and making sure that the new people understood the role. The existing people sort of knew where we were wanting to head and then building out processes. I’ve been in a much larger company and have kind of seen how they operate. Well, all right, well, what can I do to get ERT ready for that kind of scale? So it’s building in new business development processes, new operational processes, those types of things. That’s really been what we’ve been doing to sort of build so that you kind of want to build the infrastructure for where you want to be because if you get there and you don’t have it, then that’s when delivery can suffer and you put a lot of pressure on your staff to sort of make the impossible happen and there’s so many times you can go back to that well.
Terry Gerton: You talked about having the right people in the right seats. Your work requires some seriously specialized talent and often those folks need security clearances. What’s your strategy for finding and keeping those right people?
Mark Lee: I think some of it is my leadership style is a certain type of person that I want to have and it’s really finding the right people for the organization. I am not a command and control leader, which it sounds great, all that. But there’s actually different implications of that where if there are folks that are expecting to be told, ‘All right, here are the next five things exactly as you need to do,’ that’s not the way it’s going to happen. I will more lay out, ‘OK, what’s the output? What’s the result that we need?’ And you’re a professional, you sort of figure out how we’ll get that done. So making sure that’s clearly communicated and you’re hiring the people that are going to want to do that. Now, the people that like that kind of management style are really drawn to that and I really try to be super approachable. And I think when that all that drives the culture. And I, for example, we have these town halls that we do once a quarter. And I want staff to ask anything. I said, ‘No, don’t give me any questions ahead of time. No prepared remarks.’ And the harder the question, the better. And I’ve learned over time that type of approach, when you’re willing to be vulnerable and actually sometimes be, ‘Well, I’m not really sure,’ and being able to say that you might not have the answer or it may be a question that is a little bit sensitive. Watching me navigate that, I have found the staff trust you more and you build a culture that really, they’re telling their friends, ‘Hey, look, you should look at this opening.’ And certainly, where we always want to start is referrals. But you also have to be doing really cool work. And if you’re seen as a commoditized player, then the top-down are a little less excited. So I think some of it also is about the work that we pursue. You want to pursue the type of work that will attract the staff that you really want to have.
Terry Gerton: So let’s follow up on that because you’re in a space where you have a lot of competition. So beyond your culture and your people and the type of work that you do, what really makes ERT stand out to your clients?
Mark Lee: Our competition tends to fall into two big buckets. I kind of see there’s the much larger, multi-billion dollar firms that we go up against and then there’s companies that are more our size or even smaller. I think we try to do the sort of the best of both worlds approach. I think relative to the bigger companies, we offer more customer intimacy, we can offer more flexibility and a little bit more ability to adapt quickly because we don’t have this big, huge infrastructure that has to adapt with the customer. So I think that gives us some advantages. I think relative to companies that are our size or maybe smaller, we’ve got a lot of executives that have been at big places and been successful at big places and we’ve the backing of a really good private equity firm, we got a great banking group led by JPMorgan so that we can be much more able to respond to big challenges, ‘Oh they’ve got this huge project that they want to launch.’ I think we should have a little more faith that we can pull it off, given kind of the leadership we have and the kind of backing that we have. And I think you’re trying to find that balance, like I’ll come back to solutions, that really plays a key role. If you can be flexible and you have the client intimacy, but then you also have the heft behind it, you can really drive some outstanding results. And I think given where we are, that’s really where the team is really aimed at.
Terry Gerton: So those are three really important topics: the relationship, your own team and then the solutions-based approach. So tell us more about how you bring those three threads together to really deliver modernization of technology or the solutions that matter for your clients and you still help them stay compliant and secure.
Mark Lee: Yeah, I see technology as a key to making those things happen. I think some people think about all this technology modernization, all this great risk. Well, the risk is trying to keep doing things the way you’ve always done it. So part of what we’ve tried to do is to build teams that are encouraged and actually incentivized to constantly push the envelope. We’ve got a innovation team where their whole job is figure out what are the newest tools that out there, how can they be applied to our clients’ problems and then what are the implications of applying them or are there other risks? Does it create cyber concerns? Does it address cyber concerns? How scalable is it? Is it going to lock us in or lock our client into a single vendor? So we’ve really had, and those folks are not sort of bogged down the day-to-day client, so they can sort of be a little bit more creative and focused, but at the same time, and we joke about it all the time, is that we don’t do science fair experiments here. So they know that whatever they’re working on has to be practical, has to be applicable and has to be really client-driven. And we’ve worked really hard to build a really close connection between that solutions team and our business development team so that all the things that they’re doing are being informed by what we’re seeing in the market, what things we’re chasing so that then we’re arming our business development team with really great solutions that just put them in a much more competitive position to win the work.
Terry Gerton: And as you look ahead, say, five years, how do you see your competition space changing, and how are you preparing ERT to meet those challenges?
Mark Lee: Well, I think there’s two different sides. I think on the overall federal landscape, I think you’re already seeing it happen, that this shift from people talking about services to talking about solutions. We’re not the only ones thinking that way. And with the government talking about rewriting the FAR, I think that there will be some incentives in that in terms of less of the cost-based pricing and more of fixed price, things like that, which provide the contractors an incentive to drive innovation. So I think you’ll see that happening. Within the space market, we couldn’t be more excited about all that’s happening there. I think it will be much larger. You’ll continue to have the big folks that have been there a long time. I think they’re sort of almost an extension of the government in a lot of ways. They’re critical to how things happen. But I think there’s going to be some non-traditional players that are going to come in. Within civilian space, you’re seeing a big push to commercialization, using more commercial services. And I think that opens the door to new entrants. We’re looking at those as really good teaming partners. And I think part of what makes ERT special as well is that we’re all about the best solution for our customer. Sometimes we can do that all ourselves, but sometimes there’s somebody that does a part of that better than us. And we’re not going undermine our customer by trying to do the things that we are not great at. We’re going to go bring in the best in breed and being able to bring in some of these non-traditionals puts us in a much more competitive position, but it also is really fun because they’re doing some really interesting stuff. And I think you’ll see more of that over the next five years.
Can a shape pass through itself? That is to say, if one had two identical solids, would it be possible to orient one such that a hole could be cut through it, allowing the other to pass through without breaking the first into separate pieces? It turns out that the answer is yes, at least for certain shapes. Recently, two friends, [Sergey Yurkevich] and [Jakob Steininger], found the first shape proven not to have this property.
A 3D-printed representation of a cube passing through itself [image: Wikipedia]Back in the late 1600s, Prince Rupert of the Rhine proved it was possible to accomplish this feat with two identical cubes. One can tilt a cube just so, and the other cube can fit through a tunnel bored through it. A representation is shown here.
Later, researchers showed this was also true of more complex shapes. This ability to pass unbroken through a copy of oneself became known as Rupert’s Property. Sometimes it’s an amazingly tight fit, but it seems to always work.
In fact, it was so difficult to find candidates for exceptions to this that it was generally understood and accepted by mathematicians that every convex polyhedron (that is, every shape with flat sides and no holes, protrusions, or indentations) would have Rupert’s property. Until one was found that did not.
Noperthedron pencil holder
The first shape proven not to be able to pass through itself — known as the Noperthedron — is a vaguely ball-like shape, with a flat top and bottom. A fan has already added a cavity to create a 3D-printable pencil holder version of the noperthedron (shown here) if you want your own.
There are other promising candidate objects (they are rare) that may also lack Rupert’s property, but so far, this is the only proven one.
Shapes with unusual properties are interesting, and we love how tactile and visual they are. Consider Penrose tiles, a tile set that can cover any size of area without repeating. For decades, the minimum number of tile shapes needed to accomplish this was two. Recently, though, the number has dropped to one thanks to a shape known as “the hat.”
ORO is bringing ancient treasure into the future by transforming real, certified gold into fast, flexible digital assets on the Solana blockchain. Each $GOLD token represents one full troy ounce of LBMA- and UAE-certified physical gold stored in secure, regulated vaults — so you’re not dealing with make-believe money, but the real shiny stuff kings used to guard with dragons. The magic happens when this gold becomes “liquid” on Solana: you can trade it instantly, borrow against it, use it in DeFi, or even redeem it for actual physical gold through vault transfers, delivery (where available), or in-person pickup in the UAE. And since Solana is lightning-fast, moving your gold feels more like playing a game than handling a centuries-old store of value.
But ORO doesn’t stop at making gold modern — it makes it fun. Every time you buy, sell, or stake gold inside the ORO app, you earn Nuggets, a reward system that turns responsible investing into a treasure hunt. It’s like getting bonus points just for managing your money. With $1.5 million raised in its pre-seed round, ORO isn’t just a cool idea — it’s a rapidly growing protocol building the bridge between timeless stability and futuristic finance.

The most delicious vegetarian Pumpkin Pie, the best I've baked to date, probably the easiest filling ever with fresh pumpkin puree. This eggless pie was a 10/10, the buttery pastry from scratch a winner too.

Seattle is looking to celebrate and accelerate its leadership in artificial intelligence at the very moment the first wave of the AI economy is crashing down on the region’s tech workforce.
That contrast was hard to miss Monday evening at the opening reception for Seattle AI Week 2025 at Pier 70. On stage, panels offered a healthy dose of optimism about building the AI future. In the crowd, buzz about Amazon’s impending layoffs brought the reality of the moment back to earth.
A region that rose with Microsoft and then Amazon is now dealing with the consequences of Big Tech’s AI-era restructuring. Companies that hired by the thousands are now thinning their ranks in the name of efficiency and focus — a dose of corporate realism for the local tech economy.
The double-edged nature of this shift is not lost on Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson.
“AI, and the future of AI, and what that means for our state and the world — each day I do this job, the more that moves up in my mind in terms of the challenges and the opportunities we have,” Ferguson told the AI Week crowd. He touted Washington’s concentration of AI jobs, saying his goal is to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its downsides.

Seattle AI Week, led by the Washington Technology Industry Association, was started last year after a Forbes list of the nation’s top 50 AI startups included none from Seattle, said the WTIA’s Nick Ellingson, opening this year’s event. That didn’t seem right. Was it a messaging problem?
“A bunch of us got together and said, let’s talk about all the cool things happening around AI in Seattle, and let’s expand the tent beyond just tech things that are happening,” Ellingson explained.
So maybe that’s the best measuring stick: how many startups will this latest shakeout spark, and how can the Seattle region’s startup and tech leaders make it happen? Can the region become less dependent on the whims of the Microsoft and Amazon C-suites in the process?
“Washington has so much opportunity. It’s one of the few capitals of AI in the world,” said WTIA’s Arry Yu in her opening remarks. “People talk about China, people talk about Silicon Valley — there are a few contenders, but really, it’s here in Seattle. … The future is built on data, on powerful technology, but also on community. That’s what makes this place different.”
And yet, “AI is a sleepy scene in Seattle, where people work at their companies, but there’s very little activity and cross-pollinating outside of this,” said Nathan Lambert, senior research scientist with the Allen Institute for AI, during the opening panel discussion.
No, we don’t want to become San Francisco or Silicon Valley, Lambert added. But that doesn’t mean the region can’t cherry-pick some of the ingredients that put Bay Area tech on top.
Whether laid-off tech workers will start their own companies is a common question after layoffs like this. In the Seattle region at least, that outcome has been more fantasy than reality.
This is where AI could change things, if not with the fabled one-person unicorn then with a bigger wave of new companies born of this employment downturn. Who knows, maybe one will even land on that elusive Forbes AI 50 list. (Hey, a region can dream!)
But as the new AI reality unfolds in the regional workforce, maybe the best question to ask is whether Seattle’s next big thing can come from its own backyard again.

Plus, it’s always good to have a go to recipe for those times when you run out of eggs but still crave that delicious, moist banana bread.
Ingredients for Moist Eggless Banana Bread
To make the best eggless banana bread, you’ll need:
Overripe bananas – the spottier, the better
Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
Sugar (white, brown, or coconut sugar)
Plant-based milk – almond, soy, oat, or dairy
Vanilla extract
Balsamic vinegar (this helps with rise & texture)
All purpose flour
Baking soda
Baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
Cinnamon
Walnuts or chocolate chips
Step by Step Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mash bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
Add oil, sugar, milk and mix until combined.
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Combine wet & dry ingredients for banana bread gently. Do not overmix. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips.
Add in the vanilla, vinegar and milk of your choice. Combine well to incorporate all the ingredients.

Tips for Making Best Banana Bread
Use overripe bananas: Ripe banana with lots of brown spots = natural sweetness.
Measure flour correctly: spoon & level or weigh in grams. Too much flour = dense bread.
Don’t over mix the batter: this makes banana bread dense and gummy.
Add nuts, chocolate, or dried fruits for variety.
For a healthier twist, replace 1 cup all purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
Banana Bread Variations
Chocolate Chip Banana Bread: fold in ½ cup chocolate chips.
Walnut Banana Bread: add ½ cup toasted walnuts.
Whole Wheat Banana Bread: swap half the flour with whole wheat flour.

Room temp: You can store this banana bread in airtight container for 2–3 days.
Fridge: Banana bread stays fresh in fridge for up to 1 week.
Freezer: If you want to store banana bread in freezer, wrap slices in cling film and pack in ziplock bag, freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in toaster/oven.
Refrigeration and Freezing: If you’re storing the bread in the fridge or freezer, make sure to label it with the date. This way, you can keep track of how long it’s been stored.
Serving Suggestions
Spread with peanut butter or almond butter.
Toast a slice and top with honey or maple syrup.
Serve with coffee, tea, or a glass of milk.

FAQs
Can I make eggless banana bread without baking soda?
Yes, use baking powder, but the texture may be slightly denser.
Why is my banana bread not fluffy?
Over mixing, too much flour, or under-ripe bananas often cause dense bread.
Can I make gluten free Banana Bread?
Yes, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. But the texture will be slightly different
Can I reduce the sugar?
Yes, you can cut sugar by 25–30% or use coconut sugar. Bananas naturally sweeten the bread. Any sugar free substitute that can be heated can be used too.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
Bake the Bread
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy your healthy eggless banana bread with a cup of tea or coffee.

Notes
Tips for the Best Eggless Banana Bread
Use ripe bananas: The riper, the better. They add natural sweetness and moisture to the bread.
Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread dense. Stir until just combined.
Add-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins like walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips. They add a delightful crunch or melty sweetness.
Storage: Store your banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

This is the BEST chocolate sauce recipe I’ve been making over the years. This is the absolute favorite in my repertoire. I came up with it years ago when I was compelled to create a chocolate sauce that was rich, thick, glossy for one of my favourite chocolate cake recipe.
You only need a few ingredients to make this homemade chocolate sauce and it tastes better than any chocolate syrup you can buy at the store. Silky smooth, glossy, not overly sweet, and incredibly chocolatey. This is the chocolate sauce I make each time I need it.
I love my chocolate sauce with chocolate. It makes the sauce richer in taste and texture. Many don’t use chocolate for making chocolate sauce. They make the work done with cocoa powder and cornstarch. To be honest I don’t like using cornstarch in my chocolate sauce.
Here I have used Ossoro’s cocoa powder. You can use any brand of cocoa powder, but make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
I used a bit of butter in my chocolate sauce which tends to give an extra gloss to the chocolate sauce, though adding butter is totally optional. You just need to use a good quality chocolate and cocoa powder. You’ll appreciate the difference in this intensely dark and flavorful chocolate sauce.
Then comes the essence, though you can skip the essence here. I have used Ossoro’s chocolate truffle essence. You can totally skip the essence or use vanilla or chocolate essence.
