How to Make 4 In 1 Creamy Custard Drizzle Dip Dressing Or Sauce

  1. Whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup fruit juice (orange, cranberry, or your favorite blend) until smooth.
  3. Cook over simmering water in a double boiler (or use the bain-marie method in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water), stirring frequently, for 20 minutes, or until thickened.
  4. Remove 1/4 cup of the hot custard mixture and whisk it into 2 large eggs in a separate bowl until well combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture back into the main saucepan with the remaining custard. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and beat in 4 ounces (1/2 cup) softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled. Enjoy!
  8. Try using different fruit juices (pineapple, apple, etc.), add spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), or even chocolate chips for endless variations!
