Steps:
- Arrange 2 oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cardamom, salt and 2 teaspoons black pepper in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the brown sugar and butter together with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides, add the egg and beat to combine. Add the molasses and beat to combine. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
- Shape the dough into walnut-sized balls, about 1 tablespoon each, then roll them in sanding sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets and flatten slightly.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, until puffy and crackled on top, about 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile fold the cayenne, 1/2 cup crystalized ginger, and 4 teaspoons black pepper into the ice cream. Allow to re-freeze for 10 minutes. Once the ice cream is hard enough to scoop, sandwich about 1/4 cup ice cream between pairs of cookies. Re-freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Combine the remaining 1/4 cup crystallized ginger with the remaining 4 teaspoons pepper in a medium bowl. Roll the ice cream sandwich sides in the mixture. Serve immediately or individually wrap in plastic and keep in the freezer for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Strawberry puree:
- Spread the strawberries out evenly on the lined sheet pan and drizzle them with the honey. Bake for 15 minutes. Stir the berries and continue baking until they just barely begin to caramelize and get a little bit of roasted color to them, about 20 minutes more. Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let them sit until they're cool enough to handle. Transfer the berries to a blender along with the yummy sticky stuff on the parchment paper and puree to make a smooth sauce. Chill in the fridge until cold.
- Store the puree in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Ice cream base:
- Combine the sugar, dry milk, and xanthan gum in a small bowl and stir well.
- Pour the corn syrup into a medium pot and stir in the whole milk. Add the sugar mixture and immediately whisk vigorously until smooth. Set the pot over medium heat and cook, stirring often and adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent a simmer, until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Add the cream and whisk until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 6 hours, or for even better texture and flavor, 24 hours. Stir the base back together if it separates during the resting time. The base can be further stored in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Just be sure to fully thaw the frozen base before using it.)
- Ice cream:
- In a bowl, combine the strawberry puree, vinegar, and black pepper with the ice cream base. Whisk as needed to get everything completely incorporated into the base. Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and turn on the machine. Churn just until it has the texture of soft-serve.
- Stir the jam with a fork to loosen it. Quickly alternate spooning layers of the mixture and dollops of the jam in freezer-friendly containers.
- Cover with parchment paper, pressing it to the surface of the ice cream so it adheres, then cover with a lid. It's okay if the parchment hangs over the rim. Store it in the coldest part of your freezer (farthest from the door) until firm, at least 6 hours. It will keep for up to 3 months.
ICE CREAM WITH BLACK PEPPER AND SINGLE MALT SCOTCH
This recipe was published in Lucy Waverman's cooking column in the Globe and Mail some time ago. You have to like Scotch to like this recipe. Use a mellow single malt, not a bold peaty one. Combination of vanilla, scotch and black pepper imparts a caramel like flavour. This is as fast a desert as you can make.

Steps:
- Have ready an ice cream maker with a frozen bowl, or whatever equipment will be needed for freezing the ice cream.

BLACK PEPPER ICE CREAM
This is a lower calorie version of David Lebovitz's recipe that I got off a blog he posted. It sounds like a crazy combination, but the pepper is more of a background flavor, a tingle in the back of your throat, if you will. It is one of the best ice creams I've ever tasted and I LOVE 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.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. The flavour of the ice cream will depend on the quality of the ingredients you use, so be sure to use the best black pepper and single malt scotch that you can find. For Scotch, use the 10 to 12-year-old variety for the rich flavours and smoothness.
- Use fresh black pepper. Freshly ground black pepper will give the ice cream the best flavour. Avoid using pre-ground pepper, as it will have lost some of its flavour.
- Don't overdo the pepper. A little bit of pepper goes a long way, so be careful not to add too much. You can always add more pepper if you need to, but it's difficult to remove it once it's been added.
- Let the ice cream mature. After you've made the ice cream, let it mature in the freezer for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavours to develop and mellow.
Conclusion:
Ice cream with black pepper and single malt scotch is a unique and delicious dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The flavours of the pepper and scotch complement each other perfectly, creating a complex and sophisticated taste experience. This ice cream is perfect for a special occasion or a nightcap after a nice dinner. So if you're looking for something new and different, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
