→ Main Ingredients
01 -
Pinch of salt
02 -
2.5 ml vanilla extract
03 -
30 ml cold water
04 -
8 g cornstarch
05 -
28 g unsalted butter
06 -
55 g brown sugar
07 -
100 g granulated sugar
08 -
240 ml strong brewed coffee or espresso
# Steps:
01 -
You can serve the sauce while it's warm, or chill it first. Pop any extra sauce in a sealed container and keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
02 -
Take the pot off the stove, then mix in the butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir it around until everything turns really smooth and shiny.
03 -
Slowly pour your cornstarch mix into the hot coffee pot, whisking non-stop. Let it bubble for two or three minutes, keep stirring, and you'll feel it get thick.
04 -
Grab another bowl, then beat cornstarch into cold water until you can't see any lumps and it's totally blended.
05 -
Let it gently bubble for five to seven minutes so it cooks down a bit. Give it a stir every now and then.
06 -
Pour hot coffee, white sugar, and brown sugar into a small pot. Stick it on medium heat and stir the whole time until all the sugars vanish.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a bold dark coffee or some fresh espresso for flavor that really pops.
02 -
If it gets stiff in the fridge, just warm it up gently on the stove or pop it in the microwave to loosen it again.
03 -
It’s awesome poured over waffles, pancakes, ice cream, or drizzled on your favorite cake.
