How to Make Butterscotch Velvet Sauce

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble slightly (about 5 minutes).
Stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, to prevent scorching.
Continue stirring and cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and is a rich, deep golden brown color.
Remove from heat and let cool completely before transferring to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. To serve, gently warm the sauce in a double boiler or microwave for optimal consistency.
