In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the dark brown sugar and stir until the mixture becomes thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk. Stir well to combine, and reduce heat to medium-low.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with cold water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour this slurry into the saucepan while whisking constantly.
Continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the salt and vanilla extract, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Pour the butterscotch mixture into individual serving glasses or bowls, and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set the dessert fully.
Before serving, top each dessert with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top for an elegant finish.
