Ingredients

• 1 cup walnuts
• 0.5 cup strong brewed coffee
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, brown sugar, butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 3

Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and stir them into the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Step 6

Serve warm over desserts like ice cream or brownies, drizzled over pancakes, or as a complement to roasted pork or chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
