Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, add the granulated sugar and stir until the sugar starts to dissolve.
Gradually pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent clumps and ensure a smooth mixture.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat until it begins to thicken slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk well to fully combine.
Let the sauce cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Drizzle generously over warm bread pudding, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat gently before serving.
