Even though it’s still the middle of winter, I was craving some nice cream. I wanted it creamier than normal nice cream, so I used canned coconut milk and that did the trick! You could use bananas instead of coconut milk, but the consistency wouldn’t be the same. I seen on tv that strawberries and pepper go well together, so I tried it in nice cream and it is so good! The spiciness of the pepper and the fruitiness of the strawberries are a great combination! This recipe is so simple and tastes fantastic, one of the many reasons I like it!
Start by crushing the peppercorns and the pink himalayan salt crystals together in a mortar and pestle. The salt adds a lot to the nice cream, so I wouldn’t omit it. When the salt and pepper are ground up, add everything to the blender. I added pink pitaya powder to get the wonderful pink color (it adds to the flavor too!) You then can pour into the ice cream maker. It only takes 10-15 minutes in it to set; if you don’t have one though, freeze it in a container for 2-3 hours.

This has great flavour and the peppercorns really makes it pop! I never thought that pepper and ice cream would ever go together, but it’s amazing!
A great fresh strawberry flavour. The pepper adds a nice bite.
