I have used this same recipe for a few years now. My addition to this recipe was adding 1/4 teaspoon vanilla. Use on cinnamon raisin bagels/bread, pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, vanilla wafers, graham crackers, ginger snaps, apples.

This was good, but not nearly sweet enough for us. I ended up using a little over one additional tablespoon of brown sugar. I made it to serve with Recipe #262238, but I can see eating it on a lot of different things. Also, I think with the addition of a little cream this could easily become a dipping sauce for bread chunks or fruit.
