Creamy sauce with anise

2 servings

20 minutes

Creamy sauce with anise is an exquisite blend of tenderness and aroma from European culinary tradition. Anise, known for its warm, spicy flavor with hints of licorice, adds refined depth to the sauce. Its base features a velvety texture of milk and cream delicately enriched with the sweetness of sugar and richness of egg yolks. A light addition of cherry vodka highlights fruity notes, creating a perfect balance of taste. This sauce perfectly complements desserts—from baked fruits to vanilla ice cream—adding a sophisticated touch. Its chilled, slightly thick consistency makes it a wonderful accompaniment to festive dishes, adding a touch of elegance to every spoonful.
