Instructions

1. Make Coffee Cream: Stir together coffee and granulated sugar until sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle gelatin on top of coffee and let sit for 1 minute. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in whipped topping until smooth. Note: Mixture will be slightly runny. Chill cream in refrigerator for one hour or until set.
2. Make Pecan Shortcakes: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and milk stirring quickly and briefly. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and carefully fold in chopped pecans. Pat gently into a 1-inch thickness. Cut into 8 (eight) 3-inch rounds and place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of shortcakes are lightly browned.
3. Make Peaches Foster: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When butter is melted, stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Stir in coffee and vanilla and bring to a light boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until mixture begins to thicken. Stir in peaches and pecans. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Set aside to cool completely.
4. Assemble: Cut shortcakes in half and top with peach mixture and coffee cream. Serve immediately. Yield: 8 servings
