Bourbon Sauce

bourbon · bourbon sauce · butter · caramel · cream
Have you tried making a bourbon sauce at home? This has all the boozy feels for the perfect dessert, or even better morning pick me up. We start with melting butter and brown sugar in equal parts and then add some cream – regular Amul cream does fine – and a shot or two of bourbon – I’ve been known to make it three, but who’s telling? Whisk away on low heat until the sugar melts and let it cook for just a few minutes, bringing to a simmer but never to boil.
Pour into a glass container, and serve warm or cold, ideally with Cinnamon Crusted Bread Pudding, or drizzle over baked oatmeal, pancakes, waffles and my favourite, vanilla ice cream!

Butter Pecan Cake

This is my ode to family. A butter pecan cake reminds me of nostalgia, the times when large cakes were always on the counter, kids ate without worry at any time they wanted be it a whole fruit or a cracker with cheese. everything came from freshness and not from a package. the times when we kids played outdoors with everyone around and mothers had no idea that we had just gotten into a proper fist fight or scraped our knees from the bicycle. this butter pecan cake is just that. butter is slowly browned first to add a layer of flavour and then swirled into a buttermilk batter and lots of toasty chopped pecans. i add a drizzle of caramel into the batter bc my spirit needed more sweetness!

Roasted Almond + Amaretto Ice Cream {no churn}

No churn ice cream is the easiest dessert you will ever make. I've never thought I'd be one to regularly make ice cream at home, but this one is rather good. I had some amaretto with me and decided an ice cream with it was very much in order! I also threw in a lot of roasted almonds and crushed lotus biscuits, a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla extract. The ice cream keeps very well, and this recipe can be multiplied to double for larger crowds
