How to Make Apple Topped Kahlua And Cream Dessert
- (Optional) Toast ½ cup pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from skillet and set aside.

- Sauté apples for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in ¼ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and the toasted pecans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until apples reach desired tenderness.
- While apples cook, slice 1 (10-ounce) pound cake into 8 (1-inch thick) slices.
- Brush each cake slice with 1 ½ teaspoons Kahlua (or more, to taste).
- In a chilled bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- Top each cake slice with warm apple topping and a dollop of whipped cream.
- Garnish with additional pecans, if desired.
- Enjoy immediately!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
