Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and strong brewed coffee over medium heat.

2. 2

   Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture begins to bubble, about 2-3 minutes.

3. 3

   Lower the heat and add the sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly to blend well.

4. 4

   Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fish sauce until fully incorporated.

6. 6

   Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken more as it cools.

7. 7

   Serve warm or at room temperature over desserts, pancakes, or ice cream. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
