How to Make Cinnamon Vanilla Sauce For Fresh Fruit

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and 2 cinnamon sticks.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, ensuring no lumps form.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and carefully remove the cinnamon sticks.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Pour the sauce into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.
  7. Arrange your favorite fresh fruit in serving dishes.
  8. Spoon the chilled cinnamon vanilla sauce generously over the fruit.
  9. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon, if desired.
  10. Refrigerate leftover sauce for up to 4 days.
