Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Kahlua (coffee liqueur)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and whisk until fully dissolved and combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the heavy cream while whisking continuously to prevent the mixture from separating.
Increase the heat back to medium and cook the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly, until it begins to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Kahlua, vanilla extract, and salt, and cook for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring the sauce is well combined and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Serve warm or at room temperature drizzled over your favorite dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
