Ingredients

Directions

  2. Cook over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture thickens slightly, about 20 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and beat in one egg thoroughly to ensure it is fully incorporated and safe to eat.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and allow it to cool completely to room temperature.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 1/2 pint of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. Stir 4 tablespoons of brandy into the cooled sugar-butter mixture.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the brandy mixture until just combined and airy.
  8. Serve immediately over warm desserts or chill until ready to use.
