Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
💡 Chef's Tip
For a richer sauce, substitute half the milk with heavy cream. Serve warm over ice cream for a beautifully indulgent melting effect.
