Ingredients for Bread Pudding Sauce

You only need 3 ingredients for Bread Pudding Sauce:

  1. Butter
  2. Sugar
  3. Coconut milk
Coconut milk, butter and sugar

These 3 ingredients, combined in the right way, taste like a dream. So creamy and velvety with a slight nuttiness from the coconut. Wayyyy better than a warm vanilla sauce.

Also, there are many other ingredients that can be added to Bread Pudding Sauce, like rum, bourbon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, caramel sauce, dark brown sugar, coconut cream, warm spices, fruit juice or fruit zest.

However, the three main ingredients are butter, sugar, and a creamy liquid, such as milk, heavy cream, or, in this case, coconut milk. The coconut milk makes the sauce incredibly delicious!

How to Make Bread Pudding Sauce

Place butter and sugar in a pot and set on medium heat. Let them cook until the butter has completely melted and the sugar has completely dissolved.
