Black Pepper Ice Cream

Courses: Dessert
Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

3 cups 711mlMilk
1 cup 237mlWhipping cream
1 1/4 cups 247g / 8.7ozSugar - divided
12   Egg yolks
1 tablespoon 15mlCrushed black peppercorns
1   Salt

Recipe Instructions

Combine the milk, cream and 1 cup of the sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the egg yolks and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.

Remove the milk mixture from the heat and add a little to the egg yolk mixture to warm it, whisking constantly to keep the yolks from curdling. Pour the yolk mixture into the hot milk mixture, whisking the milk constantly as you pour.

Return the custard to the stove and cook it over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and strain into a bowl. Stir in the crushed peppercorns and the salt. Chill the custard until it's thoroughly cold, at least 4 hours.

Strain again and freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ice cream pairs wonderfully with summer fruits such as berries and peaches.

This recipe yields 8 (1/2-cup) servings.
