Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the pound cake into 8 even slices if not already sliced.
  2. Brew the coffee and let it cool slightly so it is warm but not boiling.
  3. Place one pound cake slice into the bottom of each of the 8 dessert bowls or glasses.
  4. Generously spoon the brewed coffee over the cake slices until they are moistened but not disintegrating.
  5. Scoop one large ball of vanilla ice cream on top of each coffee-soaked cake slice.
  6. Drizzle the Kahlua liqueur evenly over the ice cream in each bowl.
  7. Grate bittersweet chocolate or sift unsweetened cocoa powder over the top for garnish.
  8. Serve immediately while the ice cream is still cold and creamy.
