can you substitute arrowroot powder for cornstarch for the thickener?
Yes, that will work just fine!
My husband is allergic to dairy, can the butter be substituted for something else?
Yes it should work with any butter substitute, even coconut oil should work.
Awesome sauce! Hehe
Hehehe it is pretty yummy.
I was giving my dad a hard time the other day about this! “Gee, I make you homemade vanilla ice cream, and then you pour some lab-made chocolate-flavored syrup-like product on it!” Guess I have to make him some of this one, now. Came over here from the Homesteader Hop. Thanks!
Hahahaha yeah, it seems a bit silly, doesn’t it? This sauce is the perfect solution 🙂
