Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using evaporated milk instead of butter. You can also adjust the sweetness by using less sugar if desired. Ensure you stir continuously while cooking to prevent the dressing from sticking to the pan. If you prefer a thicker dressing, allow it to cook a bit longer until it reaches your desired consistency. This dressing is versatile and can complement various desserts, including vegetarian recipes.
