Bourbon sauce is a rich, buttery, sweet glaze that works beautifully on bread pudding, ice cream, grilled chicken, steaks, and even ribs. Here’s a classic, easy recipe you can make in just a few minutes.
🧈 Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
¼ cup bourbon
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
🍳 Instructions
Heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter completely. Don’t let it brown unless you want a nuttier flavor.
Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves. It should start turning glossy and smooth.
Carefully add the bourbon — the alcohol will simmer off while leaving deep flavor. Stir continuously.
Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
Turn off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. This balances the sweetness.
You can drizzle it over:
Bread pudding
Pancakes or waffles
Ice cream
Grilled meats
Roasted fruit
The sauce will thicken as it cools. To reuse, gently reheat.
⭐ Tip:
If you prefer a thicker caramel-like sauce, let it simmer a few extra minutes. For a lighter glaze, add a splash more cream.
