Hot Chocolate Ice Cream

Cayenne Pepper in chocolate ice cream?

What do you think?  Ever tried it before?

It's good.  Really good.

Now, if you ask the children, they will tell
you that their favourite chocolate ice cream is not this one.
But, I like it.  And, they eat it.  So, I'm not sure what to think.
Don't you think the proof is in the eating?  I do.  :)

This ice cream is of the no cook variety

and it churns up nicely.

If you serve it right away, it will be soft serve.

If you pop it into the deep freeze for a few hours,

it will harden up and be more scoop-able.  

Either way, it's yummy.

I used whole milk in this recipe.

When I made it, I didn't have almond extract in the house ~

So, I mixed it up without...it was very good.

Next time, I plan to have the extract on hand.

I also ventured slowly into the *hot* side of things and 

only used the smaller amount of cayenne ~

Next time, I will go with the full 1/2 tsp.

I think the cinnamon flavour came through a bit overpowering
since I used the smaller amount of the cayenne and none of the extract.
Next time, I will use the full amounts of everything.

**Update ~ Since writing this post I made it again
with the extract and the larger amount of cayenne.
The verdict?  I think it's much better with the extract,
but, the cayenne was a bit overpowering.
I suppose this means I will have to make it one more time
with all the ingredients *corrected*, don't you think?
What a shame.  ;-)

Many Blessings,
