Butter Rum Sauce is a buttery caramel-like-sauce that has the lovely flavor from the rum. Don’t worry it doesn’t taste like a cocktail as the liquor will boil out during cooking. It is made with 5 simple ingredients – butter, brown sugar, warm fresh cream, rum and some cinnamon to flavour it further.
It is perfect drizzled over cakes, brownies, sweet nachos, puddings, pancakes or just ice cream! Don’t blame me if you are spotted eating it by the spoonful..;)

minutesSweet and buttery with a punch of rum. In my opinion, butter rum sauce is easier than homemade caramel, but tastes just as good and takes a fraction of the time to make.
