Vanilla Sauce

The dressing and the topping is as important as the main ingredients for any recipe. They enhance the flavours used and adds that “oomph” factor to your recipe. If you are looking for a sauce to drizzle over puddings or cakes, then this recipe will be perfect. The hint of vanilla in this just lifts up other flavours too. I love this sauce with tarts, crumbles, puddings, cakes and even ice-creams. I usually make double the quantity and refrigerate and keep it and use it as and when I need it. I have kept this refrigerated for upto two weeks without any issues. Learn how to make Vanilla sauce for cakes and puddings, just in time for the festival season. Keep it ready and store away in the fridge, just to be used with that Christmas special pudding or tart without the hassle of making it again and again.
