Notes
Please double-check amounts when using the multiplying feature in the recipe card.
Mash sparingly with a potato masher or give the mixture a quick pulse with an immersion blender for a less chunky sauce.
Test the sauce and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
For a thin sauce or a thick sauce, adjust with more or less corn starch in your cornstarch slurry.
You can add a tablespoon of butter at the end for more gloss to your sauce.
Try a splash of vanilla or some ground cinnamon to adjust the flavor.
Make extra to use through the week! Just cool it, pop it in the fridge, and enjoy whenever you like!
