Sweet preparations may use sweeteners such as sugar, simple syrup, maple syrup or golden syrup.[1][2][4][5] Evaporated milk is sometimes used in sweet versions of coffee sauce,[6] and some versions use whiskey to add flavor.[7] Additional ingredients in some preparations include eggs and whipped cream.[8][9]

Uses

Sweet uses of the sauce include its use on cakes, chestnuts, flan, ice cream, pancakes, puddings, tortes, soufflés, sweet potatoes and waffles.[4][5][9][10][11][12]

Savory uses of the sauce include its use on salmon[13] and steak.

Commercial preparations

A mass-produced coffee sauce has been manufactured for consumer purchase by the company Ahh!Gourmet, under the brand name Perky Savory Coffee Sauce.[14]
