Joey's Vegan Vanilla Sauce

Submitted by Chef Joey Z.

"This sauce is creamy and smooth. The original recipe called for evaporated milk, but I made a substitute that turned out delicious. I will include the substitute here as it should be prepared well before hand and let cool. The evaporated milk substitute contains 1 1/8 cup Better Than Milk Soy Powder 1/2 cup warm water 1/4 cup raw cane sugar. The preparation instructions are below with the directions. Once this evapourated milk substitute is cooled combine with the rest of the ingredients for the Vanilla Sauce and pour over your favourite bread pudding or cake. Below are the ingredients for the Vanilla Sauce."
