Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee-Caramel Base: In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture melts and bubbles to a simmer, creating a rich caramel flavor base.
  2. Blend in the Coffee and Condensed Milk: Immediately whisk in the instant coffee or espresso powder until fully dissolved. Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while stirring gently to combine creamy sweetness with the coffee flavor.
  3. Incorporate Heavy Cream and Flavorings: Slowly add the heavy cream while stirring continuously to integrate smoothly. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to deepen and balance the flavors, enhancing aroma and complexity.
  4. Cool and Set the Caramel: Remove the saucepan from heat and pour the mixture into your preferred serving dish or ramekins. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm with a creamy, spoonable consistency.
