Great tasting sauce. I added it to Mirj's "perfect Boiled Custard. #20191. This sauce reminds me a lot of egg nog...with extra, "Nog". Thank you for sharing.

A great sauce. We used this sauce with Irish Whiskey Cake #56920. The sauce was quick to make and a perfect topping. I don't remember seeing any extra sauce after dessert -- so I'd recommend doubling the recipe. Thanks!
