Vanilla Pudding Sauce

I've always been one of those people that prefers to play it safe, especially when it comes to food and being hungry! I actually don't think I've ever put anything but maple syrup on pancakes in my entire life!! But I came across this recipe and was intrigued by the fact that it has nearly 1/3 less sugar than maple syrup, so I thought I would give it a go....and have Ryan take the first bite just incase ;)


Well...let me tell you...I don't know if I will ever use maple syrup again....YES! It's that good!! So warm and creamy with the perfect amount of sweetness...between the light and fluffy pancakes, mixed with the thick vanilla pudding sauce toped with fresh strawberries {all three components are NECESSARY}....I mean what else do you want? Seriously! Can I really call this breakfast?
