rum sauce

Spirited dessert topping

Rum sauce is a sweet, boozy sauce made with butter, sugar, and rum, served warm over desserts.

It's the traditional topping for bread pudding and appears on cakes, ice cream, and holiday puddings: The bread pudding came swimming in rum sauce.

The alcohol mostly cooks off, leaving the distinctive caramel-rum flavor.
