Notes
- Chipotle sauce can be stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to 10 days. It will thicken up as it sits in the fridge. Simply give it a stir to loosen it up before serving.
- I do not recommend freezing any sauce that contains dairy. The sauce will separate in the freezer and will not be the same consistency once it’s defrosted.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free.
- To increase the spice level of the sauce, add an additional chipotle pepper and 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from the can of peppers.
- To add sweetness to this sauce, add 1 teaspoon honey. If you’d like it even sweeter, add an additional teaspoon of honey.
- You can easily double this recipe. Simply click the 2X button above. The ingredient amounts will automatically update to make a double batch of the sauce. Follow the instructions the same as if you were making a single batch.
