Preparation

Step 1
To make the ice cream, place the yolks in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Place the milk, cream, sugar and pepper in a saucepan and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly whisk ⅓ of the hot liquid into the yolks. Whisk in the remainder. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and refrigerate until chilled. Freeze according to the ice-cream maker's instructions.
Step 2
To make the fruit salad, combine the puree, water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring just to a boil without stirring. Remove from the heat and cool. Combine the fruits in a large bowl and toss with the cooled fruit syrup. Divide the salad among 6 deep plates, and then top each serving with a scoop of ice cream.
