Sauce For Bread Pudding

Vanilla sauce is ready in less than 10 minutes. While it might seem basic and simple, the flavor is out of this world. Use this vanilla sauce for bread pudding, bundt cakes, regular cakes and it's rather dreamy over ice cream.

Ingredients

Servings
  • ½ cup butter use real butter, nothing soft coming out of the fridge
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream not fat-free, or heavy cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar I used all-natural cane sugar but you can use white granulated
  • 1 ½-2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Optional

  • ⅛ - ¼ tsp kosher salt or flaky sea salt, this can balance out the sweetness

Instructions

  1. In a small heavy-bottomed sauce pan, over medium-low heat, melt the butter, sugar, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla.
  2. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and has a syrup consistency. It should coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  3. Sauce is best served warm, it will thicken as it cools, so if you need it thicker, allow it to cool until desired consistency.

Notes

  • Since this sauce has cream in it, I store it in the fridge. It will last in a well-sealed container for 1-2 months, if not longer. It may be frozen as well. If your sauce crystalizes at all, just place desired amount in a small saucepan, reheat over low heat, whisking constantly until warm and sugars have dissolved. If necessary, whisk in a teaspoon of cream or butter. 
  • Bourbon Vanilla Extract
  • Almond extract | try this one by Rodelle, so pure and good.
  • Use Vanilla Bean Paste for those gorgeous little flecks of vanilla.
  • Try using a teaspoon of rum, whiskey or brandy, yum!
  • Try a teaspoon or two of your favorite liqueur or cordial.
  • Pour over any cake, like the pear cake above; especially delicious on vanilla based cakes, you can pour on hot, for a glaze that will sink in making the cake incredibly moist, or wait and drizzle it on for serving.
  • This vanilla sauce is incredible for bread pudding, or try over my friend Amy's Sticky Toffee Pudding.
  • A little drizzle over this pumpkin spice cake would be dreamy!
  • Definitely over ice cream! Any and all kinds, it will harden slightly and get chewy, so delicious!
  • Fruit | Keep it simple, vanilla sauce is amazing over fresh fruit.
  • Drizzle generously over this Chocolate Croissant bake for more of a dessert than a breakfast!
