Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 oz unsalted butter
8 oz granulated sugar (See Notes below)*
1.5 oz molasses, (I recommend Grandma's. Do not use blackstrap. See Notes below)*
1 teaspoon kosher salt, (I will let you use only 3/4 teaspoon if you must, but no less)
6 oz heavy cream
1 teaspoon good quality vanilla
coffee extract, to taste (1-3 teaspoons) (leave out if you want straight up butterscotch ice cream sauce)

Steps:

Melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the sugar, molasses and kosher salt. The mixture will look like wet brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a boil.
Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture reaches 230F, about five minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and optional coffee extracts. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
Serve warm over ice cream. Or whatever.
Enjoy!
