Ingredients

  • ¼ cup milk cows or coconut
  • ½ cup heavy cream or coconut cream
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Over medium heat, add milk, cream, and sugar to a large saucepan. Heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
    ¼ cup milk, ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup granulated sugar
  • Add your cornstarch and whisk until there are no visible lumps. Continue to heat, stirring frequently, until your sauce thickens (cornstarch will start to thicken sauce once it reaches 295°F).
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Add your vanilla extract and stir to combine. Assess the consistency. To thicken, continue to heat. If you are happy with the thickness, remove it from heat.
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Transfer sauce to a small bowl or pitcher to cool. Enjoy over bread pudding, brownies, loaf cake, and more!

Notes

  • For a thinner sauce, heat and stir until the consistency resembles glue before moving on to step 3.
  • For a thicker sauce, continue to heat until the sauce resembles pancake batter.
