Bourbon Syrup Dessert Topping
Being from Kentucky, I have a special place in my heart (and pantry) for bourbon. There’s nothing better than the warm sweet notes of vanilla and molasses by the fire on a cold winter day. I will often host a bourbon tasting in the winter months and pair the bourbons with various foods that compliment its flavor, such as barbeque or chocolate. I can always count on a world famous (at least to us) Bourbon Cheesecake from my birth father and it never lasts long. It starts with a plain cheesecake made from scratch. The secret is the topping of candied pecans and the most amazing “Bourbon Syrup.” It didn’t take long for us to discover that this syrup tastes great on EVERYTHING and we’ve decided that there is a high probability a Bourbon Syrup Fountain will make its debut this year. Add this syrup to any dessert and you can’t go wrong.
