Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 120 grams powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Allow the unsalted butter to come to room temperature so it becomes soft and easy to work with.
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a wooden spoon to cream the butter until smooth and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar to avoid lumps, mixing continuously until the sugar is fully incorporated and the mixture appears smooth.
Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing well after each addition to achieve a silky consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt to enhance the flavor of the sauce.
Continue mixing for another 1 minute to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Transfer the hard sauce to a serving dish or bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly before serving.
Serve as a topping for desserts such as Christmas pudding, gingerbread, or warm fruit pies.
