Condensed Milk Vanilla Sauce

Condensed milk vanilla sauce has got to be the easiest tastiest sauce that anyone can make. I created this vanilla sauce recipe to use in place of complex recipes that I do not really want to make.

I have gotten so much great feedback about this condensed milk sauce that came from my Italian Bread Pudding recipe that I decided to make a post for it on it’s own. It is really that good! The bread pudding recipe is just as easy as this sauce and if you love bread pudding like I do, it is definitely worth checking out!

A few simple ingredients are all you need to make this delicious sauce:

• Condensed milk
• vanilla extract
• a touch of butter
• a splash of milk

I told you this one is easy! The steps are as simple as pouring the ingredients into a small saucepan gently heating them together and then pouring it over your favorite dessert.

If you are looking to keep things dairy free, you can absolutely substitute the condensed milk and milk in this recipe for non-dairy items. A favorite of mine (and I am not on a dairy free diet) is coconut condensed milk.

This sauce is very easy to make and so absolutely decadent and delicious. You can top just about any dessert with this condensed milk sauce from bread puddings to cinnamon rolls or ice cream.

If you love really simple desserts then these other recipes are for you:

• Homemade berry sauce is a delicious and easy recipe that can be added to so many desserts and treats. It is even great at breakfast over pancakes or oatmeal.
• This baked french toast casserole is also made with condensed milk and is perfect as a dessert or as a special breakfast.

Once you make this and see how easy and delicious this is you will be making this on repeat! It is that addictive and that delicious!
