Introduction: Ah, the beauty of simplicity in cooking—today I bring to you one of the most surprisingly luscious treats you can whip up with just a single ingredient.

One might want to make this as a delicious topping for desserts, a sweetener for their coffee, or even as a creative gift for a friend.

Drizzle it over a warm brownie, use it as a topping for your morning pancakes, layer it in your trifles, or swirl it into your cheesecakes.
