The BEST Vanilla Sauce Recipe

This vanilla sauce recipe uses the best, simplest ingredients (like real vanilla bean!) and no packaged mixes for maximum flavor. Plus it comes together in just 10 minutes and can be served either warm or cold!
You can buy vanilla beans in bulk because I know how pricy they can be! Just store them airtight (like in an old spice jar or a canning jar) and away from sunlight).
It's super easy to make and is the perfect pairing for anything from authentic Vienna-style apple strudel to ice cream (serve cold - see notes) or my popular German red berry sauce (Rote Grütze), but you also must try it poured over French toast! So good!
