How to Make Delicious Vanilla Sauce
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, scald 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup whole milk over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the sugar dissolves completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold milk until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the cream mixture in the saucepan.
- Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly, stirring occasionally, to prevent a skin from forming.
- Serve warm over your favorite dessert. Enjoy!
