3-Ingredient Vanilla Sauce Recipe: Spoon This Sweet Sauce on Everything

Sometimes you need to make something sweet just a little sweeter. We get it! This easy vanilla sauce recipe has just three simple ingredients and cooks in about 10 minutes. The sauce can be spooned or drizzled over cakes, bread pudding, pancakes, waffles, ice cream, pies and cobblers. Or, use it as a dip for pound cake cubes, pretzels, cookies or fruit.

The butter in this vanilla sauce recipe is optional. It is delicious without it, but does add a different flavor and even more creaminess. Your call. Store the vanilla sauce in the refrigerator, covered, for about one week.
