Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (reduced-fat, if available)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until it forms a smooth slurry. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling.
Add the white chocolate chips to the saucepan. Stir constantly using a silicone spatula or whisk until the chocolate has melted completely and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, though the white chocolate will naturally provide enough sweetness.
Let the sauce cool slightly before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm over desserts of choice, or allow it to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Warm gently before serving if needed.
