Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c Sugar
1 2/3 c Extra strong coffee --
- at room temperature
2 tb Corn starch
2 tb Unsalted butter
1/3 ts Salt
Note:
If you would like to serve this sauce chilled, omit butter and
refrigerate after sauce has thickened.
In a heavy skillet, melt the sugar slowly, stirring often, until the
sugar is a light amber color, about 5 minutes. Slowly add 1-1/3 cups
of the coffee, stirring constantly. Be prepared for a lot of steam.
In a small bowl, blend the cornstarch and the remaining 1/3 cup of
coffee until smooth. Stir the mixture into the hot coffee-sugar
mixture. Continue cooking over low heat and stir until the sauce
boils and thickens, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir
in the butter and salt until blended. Serve warm over ice cream.
