Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the packed dark brown sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Slowly pour 2 cups of boiling water into the dry ingredients while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and thickens slightly.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately once thickened.
  5. Stir in the butter and vanilla extract until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  6. Serve warm over ice cream, baked bananas, pineapple slices, or plain cakes.
