If you think bourbon sauce sounds decadent, you're right. Upgrade pies, cakes, and ice cream with this sweet, boozy drizzle.

ingredients

1 beaten egg
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup bourbon whiskey

directions

Place the beaten egg in a heat-proof bowl and set aside.

Place the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let melt, stirring frequently.

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sugar and water. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes or until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is syrupy.

While whisking the egg vigorously, slowly add the sugar mixture in a slow stream to the egg in the bowl. Beat until incorporated.

Whisk in the bourbon.

Pour the warm sauce over your favorite desserts.

    Do you need pasteurized eggs for this? It sounds so delicious!!

    • The boiling hot syrup cooks the egg safely (a common cooking technique) so you shouldn't need pasteurized eggs, but if it's a concern for you feel free to use them.
