White Chocolate Sauce

It’s easy to make a batch of white chocolate sauce. White chocolate chips and a generous amount of vanilla extract bring a lovely flavor, while condensed milk adds a milky sweetness. Use this sauce in hot and iced coffee, drizzled on ice cream or berries, or enjoy it by the spoonful.
