How to Make Maple Walnut Ice Cream Sauce

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1/2 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons water.
  2. Stir over medium heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 8-10 minutes. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
  5. Allow the sauce to cool completely to room temperature. This allows it to thicken further to the perfect consistency.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
