I ate this very special ice cream in Cambodia, more precisely in Kampot

On a pepper plantation that also grows long pepper. Until then, I couldn’t even imagine that such different flavors could harmonize so well with each other.

For me, ice cream was always closely associated with sweet ingredients such as vanilla, chocolate, or fruit. Even the corn ice cream I tried a few years ago was very exotic for me.

But I really wanted to try the pepper ice cream – and it blew me away.

Back at home, I immediately set about making it myself. I took red pepper home from Kampot and simply added it to my basic recipe. And it worked! Since then, all our guests have had to eat homemade pepper ice cream.

Would you like to try pepper ice cream too?
