Custard Rum Sauce

Custard rum sauce is a smooth pouring custard sauce with an added hint of rum for serving over fresh fruit, bread pudding, and other desserts.

This custard has a pour-able consistency that can be ladled onto a dessert when cold and a slightly thinner consistency when heated slightly.

It is particularly good with peaches and strawberries and is a nice complement to a bowl of warm bread pudding.

Try it drizzled over a slice of chocolate cheesecake and garnished with fresh fruit.

Add an additional garnish with a mint leaf and you have a beautiful, quick, and easy dessert for any occasion.

Custard Sauce Recipe

1-1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon rum extract (optional)

Heat the milk in a heavy saucepan until bubbles appear around the edge. While heating, stir occasionally so the milk does not burn to the bottom.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks slightly. Stir in the sugar; do not beat.

Gradually stir the hot milk into the eggs a little at a time, tempering them, and then return the entire mixture to the saucepan.

Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly and will coat a clean metal spoon with a thin, creamy film. Cool slightly, and then stir in the vanilla and rum extracts.

Cover and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Makes about 1-1/2 cups. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
