- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the orange juice, orange zest, and granulated sugar. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour this into the saucepan, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low, then stir in the heavy cream and butter. Continue stirring until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7
