German term

durchzogen

German to English Marketing Food & Drink
Es geht um eine Konsumentenbefragung zu einem speziellen Speiseeis in der Familienpackung:
Die Schokoladensauce ist nicht nur auf der Oberfläche verteilt wie ein Topping, das gesamte Eis ist durchzogen damit.
Wenn man die Packung in der Hand hält sieht man sofort, dass das Eis von der Caramelsauce schön durchzogen ist - so richtig marmoriert.
Die Eiscreme war richtig schön gleichmässig durchzogen mit Schokosauce, (die Sauce) war nicht nur in den Ecken.

If you're translating ... ... what the respondents actually said, I'm not sure any of the (3) answers so far sound like something someone would really say. Not that I can think of a better answer off the top of my head. What did we used to say about seaside rock?

(Googling "ice cream" and "sauce all the way through" turns up a few related hits.)

streaked through

as an alternative, effectively a synonym for "marbled" which comes later in the sentence
Peer comment(s):

agree EK Yokohama : Not (evenly) distributed but streaked through/marbled. That's it, at least in my opinion.

Thank you!
agree Michael Martin, MA : I think "streaked" is great but perhaps even better without "through"?//You're quite right. Forgot to mention that my solution actually was "generously streaked with" to make up for the loss of "through"..

Yes, that would work well too - implies (to me) there's not quite as much chocolate/caramel/whatever sauce
agree billcorno (X) : From your link and from Kubo E's comment, I think rippled or marbled works well.

distributed throughout

One option is to change the subject of the sentence and use "distributed throughout".
E.g. "Das gesamte Eis ist durchzogen damit" becomes "It is distributed throughout the entire ice cream" ... "the caramel sauce is beautifully/nicely distributed throughout the ice cream" ... and so on.

generously streaked with:

I also like suew's idea about 'streaked' but without the "through' bit.

Die Eiscreme war richtig schön gleichmässig durchzogen mit Schokosauce = The ice cream was generously streaked with chocolate sauce.

Compare with link below:
"Our velvetastic pure vanilla ice cream is generously streaked with silky seams of caramel."
