This is delicious. I made this to put on homemade cinnamon rolls. When I went to make the that goes with the rolls, I realized that I was out of powdered sugar. I searched for an icing recipe made without pwd sugar and found this. It was delightful and wonderfully rich. I left out the brandy because I was serving it to my kids, though. I think it would be wonderful with pecans. Definitely a recipe I will keep on hand as a nice icing alternative.

This is one of my fav recipes from this site. Original review: Wow! This was really good! I made this for a pound cake. I tasted a little as I was icing the cake---amazing! I did change the recipe based on others' reviews that said it was too thick.

I've never had a brown butter sauce before. I really liked it! So simple to make and it would work well with any kind of vanilla, butter, banana, carrot or apple cake. I like the way you don't need to use icing sugar as I don't always have it in my pantry.

This sauce was absolutely amazing on top of the sour milk spice cake from this site. I replaced the brandy with an equal amount of water and used sour milk (I think that's the right term for it; it was the liquid left over from making ricotta cheese)in place of the regular milk. It turned out a perfect, slightly thick glaze consistency, therefore it must be pretty simple to make because I rarely make things using sugar on the stove without ruining them.

This sauce is even better if you use molasses and granulated sugar rather than brown sugar. 1 cup of mild molasses + 1 cup of granulated sugar.

This is a very smooth ??? (not quite sure what to call it...mine turned out thick enough to qualify as frosting but not as thick as pudding which some reviewers said it was...certainly not a sauce). It has almost a satiny texture. I followed the recipe (whisking the whole time) except I only used half the brandy, which I think was the perfect amount. I spread it on top of Fabulously Sweet Pear Cake (from this site) & it worked very well.

Goes fabulous with the apple coffee cake! I make this sauce every Christmas, and in our home the coffee cake is lovingly referred to as "Christmas cake". It will remain a tradition for years to come.

I didn't have brandy, so I didn't use it. Next time I'll skip the vanilla too. I tasted it before the vanilla and thought it was wonderful, but when I put in the vanilla it didn't taste as good. I also used pecans instead of walnuts, because I like them better. Overall, easy to make.

Used this sauce as a topping for a pear cake. Turned out yummy!!! Easy to make!!! Used vanilla soy milk which gave it a very nice creamy texture and flavour. Omitted brandy

Just made this sauce to take to a holiday dinner, and since I've been sampling it copiously, I thought I'd go ahead and review. It's a pretty tasty sauce! Mine came out quite thick, but it's got a nice texture. I think I may omit the brandy next time, I didn't care too much for the undertaste of it. And, call me a glutton, but I think I'll add a 1/2 cup of creme with the cup of milk.

Used the cream as suggested. I really couldn't serve this because I kept sneaking a taste and there almost was not enough left. :-) It's really wonderful and I think it would be okay without the brandy if you don't have that on hand.

This is NOT a sauce at all......... it's a pudding. There is probably a nice use for it but I certainly would not consider it a sauce.
