How to Make Peppered Raspberries

  1. Gently wash 1 pint of fresh raspberries and pat them dry.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the raspberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of Grand Marnier (optional).
  3. Let the raspberries marinate for 5 minutes to allow the sugars to dissolve and the flavors to meld.
  4. Using a pepper mill, finely grind fresh black pepper over the raspberries. Aim for approximately 20 turns of the mill.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently stir 1 cup of vanilla ice cream until it becomes soft and pliable.
  6. Fold in 1/2 cup of freshly whipped heavy cream.
  7. Add the marinated raspberries and their juices to the ice cream mixture.
  8. Gently mix until well combined. Avoid overmixing.
  9. Serve immediately in individual dessert glasses or burgundy glasses. Garnish with fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint leaves, if desired.
  10. Enjoy this delightful and unexpected dessert!
