      Yield: 1 Servings
 
      1 c  Sugar
  1 2/3 c  Extra strong coffee; at room
           -temperature
      2 tb Cornstarch
      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.
