- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter

Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and unsalted butter until fully incorporated.
