Ingredients

1 pint sweet cream or vanilla ice cream

10 ounces frozen strawberries, thawed

12 turns on the peppermill of black pepper

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice

1/2 cup water

Directions

Take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften. In a food processor, combine strawberries, black pepper, sugar, orange juice, and water. Pulse until almost smooth, but with a few chunks left in the mixture. Pour the mixture into a medium saucepot. Turn the heat to medium, and bring to a bubble. Simmer until the mixture comes together as a sauce, and slightly thickens—about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature, or just a touch warmer. Spoon 4 large ice cream scoops of sweet cream ice cream into 4 bowls. Pour the cooled strawberry-pepper sauce over the ice cream, and top with a simple cookie. Serve immediately.
