Black Pepper Ice Cream Sandwiches Recipes

BLACK PEPPER ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Warm the milk, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup of the half and half in a medium saucepan. (I heated it until it almost boiled.) Cover, remove from the heat, and let steep at room temperature for one hour.
• Rewarm the peppercorn-infused mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly pour the warm mixture into the yolks, then pour it all back into the saucepan.
• Quickly rinse the bowl, pour the remaining half and half into it, and set a mesh strainer on top.
• Stir the custard constantly over medium heat with a heatproof spatula until it thickens. Pour the custard through the strainer, pressing the peppercorns gently to extract as much flavor as possible.
• Discard the peppercorns and stir the custard into the cream.
• Chill thoroughly (4-6 hours, or 2 hours over an ice bath).
• Freeze according to your ice cream maker's directions.
