Well, since there is only one coffee lover in this house, I wanted to make just 1/2 cup of the sauce. But when I reduced the servings, the directions made it difficult to convert, so I used all the ingredients listed, and just altered the instructions. I used cornstarch for the arrowroot, and placed the first four ingredients into a small pot and simmered to reduce. While it cooled, I whipped the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar to stiff peaks. I then (while whisking) slowly drizzled in the coffee mixture. I served this to Buddha over chocolate ice cream and he went nuts! He loved the flavor of the coffee sauce with the ice cream. I can see this will be a regular treat for him often. Thanks so much for posting. :)

I used a blend of regular and butter rum coffee . SO yummy. This is more like a creamy sauce. I served it over Chocolate Coffee Cake Recipe #93497 This is a definite keeper. Made for Comfort Cafe Tag January 2009
