From pancakes to bread pudding to ice cream, this luscious Maple Butter Cream Sauce is pure deliciousness!
Four ingredients are all that it took to create this seriously decadent, ridiculously easy sauce. This sauce kind of happened because I wasn’t sure what to top my Orange Cranberry Bread Pudding with.

Made this over the weekend as my daughter was having a sleepover and the kids wanted pancakes. This sauce was a huge success! The kids and I loved it!
Don’t get me wrong—it’s great with real maple syrup, but I just wasn’t feeling that. I wanted something a bit more panache. I mean, this bread pudding is anything but ordinary or basic. It has almost regal flavors (are orange cranberry still considered regal, or are they now considered ‘the norm’?). I wanted something equally as royal. I wanted rich and decadent.
And what makes things more decadent…hello butter and cream!
I wanted the sauce to thicken up and the flavors to meld together. The only way I knew to do this was bring it all to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and let it do that sexy tango dance in the pan for a little while.
When the sauce coated the back of the spoon (quick test – dip the spoon in, turn it over, and if you can run your finger down the middle of the spoon and it makes a clean trail while leaving the sauce on either side, you’re good! Just be careful not to burn yourself as it’ll be hot!)
Initially, the sauce is still thin when you go to pour it, but if you can hold your gutchies on another 10-15 minutes til the sauce cools down slightly, it will thicken up to this luscious and decadent sauce.

This is my favorite bread pudding sauce! it’s so good I could drink it!! it pairs awsome with the orange cranberry bread pudding!!
People, this sauce was pure heaven on a spoon! It drizzled over the top of that bread pudding, so smooth and sinfully amazing. This sauce then proceeded to go over pancakes, waffles, and an ice cream sundae—seriously, this over vanilla ice cream with toasted pecans. OMG! Seriously, just put me in a room with a bowl of this and some ice cream, and I’ll be happy for days!
