Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all of the ingredients in the blender and blend well, but be careful to not over blend or you will get small buttery lumps instead of a smooth sauce.
  2. The sauce will be very liquid after you blend it, but if you return it to the refrigerator it will thicken.
