I had this at the Home Builders Show I attended with my company, Sears had Chef Patrick cooking the whole time.  This was REALLY good.  If you're not big on the Kahlua Sauce, you can substiute the sauce for a vanilla sauce.

 

Optional Vanilla Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup butter shopping list
  • 1/2 cup sugar shopping list
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar shopping list
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream shopping list

     

    Combine all sauce ingredients except vanilla in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (5 to 8 minutes). Stir in vanilla.
