Positively divine. You'd think it'll be spicy. But you'd be wrong. The cold temperature and the cream conspire to temper all but a hint of heat. What you get is something almost herbal. You taste the actual flavor of black pepper. Do it.
Made this for a winter dinner and served with assorted Christmas cookies. Other than adding a tsp of vanilla and straining the custard before refrigerating overnight I followed the recipe exactly. It looks like a lot of black pepper ( straining only removed a few large bits) but it is a subtle heat that remains when churned. This recipe is worth the time and effort.
topped this with a strawberry reduction to balance. Divine, and pairs well with a basil hayden rye
