Splash of Pear William Brandy

Splash of Pear William Brandy

Ingredients:
16 Slice Cake; pound − (1/4" thick)
8 Scoops Ice cream
1 Cup Spiced or candied pecan pieces

Directions:
Confectioners' Sugar
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar.
Using a wooden spoon, stir the sugar until it dissolves. Continue to stir
until the sugar starts to turn a caramel color, about 4 to 6 minutes. Add
the pears and a pinch of salt. Continue to saute for 4 minutes. Remove the
pan from the heat and carefully add the brandy. Place the pan back over the
heat and with an electric kitchen torch, flame the pears. Shake the pan back
and fourth several times until the flame dies out. Place a scoop of ice
cream between two slices of the pound cake, forming a sandwich. To serve,
place the ice cream sandwiches in the center of each serving plate. Spoon
the pears over the sandwiches. Garnish with the pecans and sugar. This
recipe yields 8 servings.
