• Yield: 2 cups sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 vanilla bean
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter or margarine

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vanilla Bean: Begin by preparing the vanilla bean. Note that one 6-inch vanilla bean is roughly equivalent to about 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, should you choose to use it as a substitute. However, utilizing the tiny vanilla beads from the bean itself offers a much more robust and flavorful experience.

2. Scrape and Stir: Carefully split the vanilla bean lengthwise, exposing the tiny seeds within. Using the back of a knife, gently scrape the seeds from the pod. Transfer the scraped vanilla beads into a bowl containing the powdered sugar. Stir the mixture thoroughly to evenly distribute the vanilla flavor throughout the sugar.

3. Combine with Butter: Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the vanilla-infused powdered sugar with softened butter or margarine.

4. Beat Until Blended: Using an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat the mixture until the ingredients are well blended and the texture is smooth and creamy.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the Vanilla Bean Hard Sauce is thoroughly mixed, it is ready to serve. Spoon it generously over warm desserts such as Apple Berry Cobbler or any other fruit pies, pound cakes, or angel food cakes.
