Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also replace heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter option. If you're out of vanilla extract, a splash of almond extract can add a pleasant twist. Stir the sauce continuously to prevent it from sticking to the pan, ensuring a smooth texture. This sauce is perfect for drizzling over Yummy Stewed Potatoes or vanilla ice cream.
