This foamy sauce is a family recipe that has been passed down through the generations. It's a classic accompaniment to a rich and heavy steamed pudding and can be enjoyed during the cold winter months as a comforting and warming dessert. The light and airy texture of the sauce is achieved by beating the egg yolks and egg whites separately before folding them together with whipped cream.

Instructions

1.	Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
2.	In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored.
3.	Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4.	Add in the melted butter and vanilla, and continue beating on low.
5.	In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff and then fold them into the mixture.
6.	Finally, fold in the whipped cream until everything is combined.
