Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce

It is dessert season the year round, from summer berries to steamed puddings in the winter, Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce is just what you're looking for. The flavor? Think a liquid cheesecake that you can pour over berries, cake, or whatever you plan on serving!

Yes, think liquid cheesecake! Four little ingredients have never tasted so good!

Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce with only four ingredients, is a quick grab-and-go recipe. So easy in fact this is a great recipe to make with your little kitchen helpers! Even measuring the ingredients is easy.  Once made just pop it into the fridge, until you are ready to serve dessert. I like to transfer the sauce from the mixing bowl into a serving bowl at dessert time, for a delicious-looking presentation. 

Perfect over berries, cake and even poached fruit.

I have enjoyed this sauce over berries as well as poached rhubarb so many times and loved it each and every time. Last night's dessert was carrot cake, and I have to tell you Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce has it all over frosting for cake of any kind! Especially carrot cake...Don't get me wrong, I love a rich creamy frosting on my carrot of cake. Sometimes frosting can be a bit of overkill, but not with Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce, dessert will be delicious!

And to prove my theory, I have the perfect One Bowl Carrot Cake recipe to share with you, because Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce and carrot cake are a match made in heaven, right after berries and Buttermilk Creme Sauce...or Gingerbread and Buttermilk Creme Dessert Sauce!
