Cruella's Pepper Ice Cream | The Hundred and One Dalmatians
Cruella De Vil wants pepper on everything in 101 Dalmatians! Fortunately, this black pepper ice cream recipe that tastes like spiced cake is a delicious compromise.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of ginger
- 1 cup full fat milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2/4 cup white sugar
- 3 egg yolks
- 300 ml thickened cream
- 5-8 drops black pepper essence
Instructions
- In a medium sized saucepan, pour in the milk, peppercorns, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, ginger, white sugar and brown sugar, and bring to a simmer. Stir to ensure all sugar is dissolved.
- Turn off heat, cover with a lid and let sit for 1 hour to infuse.
- After 1 hour, strain into a larger saucepan, and reheat until the milk is still 'touchable'-- warm but not hot enough to cook an egg.
- Whisk in 3 egg yolks, and consistently stir until the mixture thickens. (Approximately 10-15 minutes).
- Add in the thickened cream, add in the and stir until combined.
- Freeze according to your ice cream maker.
Notes
Alternatively, if you don't have an ice cream maker, I pour it into a frozen metal mixing bowl. I stick it in the freezer to cool down quickly, then bring it out every 5-10 minutes to stir it. I then spoon it into a bread loaf baking pan, press on baking paper over top and freeze until firm.
