Perhaps the best part of this sauce is that it only takes six minutes to make! Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Of course, the key ingredient in Mexican chocolate sauce is chocolate! The better the chocolate that you use, the better the end result will be. I use dark chocolate baking discs from TCHO [paid link]. You can also use your favorite dark chocolate chips.

I love honey butter so much that I’ve been known to choose restaurants just because it’s on the menu. But, when my friend asked me if I’d ever had maple butter, I had to say no. How was it possible that I’d never had it? Maple is just as good as – if not better than – honey!

I soon learned that there are two different products called maple butter. One is made by cooking down maple syrup until it turns into something with the texture of butter. This, of course, is completely delicious. However, the version I’m sharing here is also amazingly good and SO much easier to make. You don’t need to cook anything on the stove, and it’s ready to eat in three minutes.

Whiskey sauce is most commonly used as a topping for bread pudding. You also see it served with caramelized bananas (like in Bananas Foster). I love it drizzled over cheesecake or added into vanilla frosting.

Ingredients

Although the end result tastes wildly different from butterscotch sauce, the ingredients for the two are almost identical. They are both made with butter, brown sugar (I use light brown sugar, but dark is fine if you prefer a deeper molasses flavor), heavy whipping cream, salt, and vanilla.

Butterscotch is a type of caramel that is made with brown sugar instead of white sugar and it is always made with butter (regular caramel sometimes has butter, but not always). The sauce has a distinct flavor that will remind you of butterscotch candies.

Ingredients and Equipment

This recipe is made with just 5 simple ingredients: butter, brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and salt.

• a can of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans)
• a chocolate nut butter (like Nutella)
• sweetener (I use honey and brown sugar, but maple syrup or molasses would also work if you like those flavors.)

The whole thing comes together super easily in a food processor and lasts for a couple of weeks in the refrigerator.

Homemade butter is super fresh. You’ll be amazed at how good it tastes. It’s great to nake with kids to teach them where their food comes from. Plus, you’ll also get buttermilk, making this a two-in-one recipe!

Ingredients and Equipment

All you need to make butter is heavy whipping cream and a mason jar.

Once cooked, it has a velvety texture – soft but set in place (similar to a ricotta cheesecake).

What is Orange Curd?

Lemon curd is by far the most popular type of fruit curd. However, curd can be made with so many types of fruit – I love making banana curd, carrot curd, and even mojito curd.

When most people think of maraschino cherries, they think of the store-bought version [paid link] – dyed-red cherries that are super sweet from soaking in a sugar syrup. However, they can be easily made at home by steeping fresh cherries in either alcohol or juice.

My alcohol-free version is made by steeping pitted cherries in pomegranate juice and loads of spices. The cherries are tart, sweet, surprisingly complex, and incredibly inviting.

Always make this condiment yourself; the end result tastes so much better than most store-bought versions.

Ingredients

There is only one ingredient in this recipe: heavy whipping cream.
