How to Make Bourbon Cream Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in the bourbon, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans (optional).
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite dish or allow to cool slightly before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
