I don't know if I'm up for the habanero ice cream if its firey-hot... I'd
be willing to try the peppercorn icecream if you care to share the recipe?

Unfortunately I don't have exact recipies for either.

Both are ordinary vanilla ice-cream with the spice in them.

I would assume just adding the peppercorns rather than say cherries in your ice
cream maker.

I've always had pepper ice cream at resteraunts and have only had it two or
three times.

The habanero ice cream was firey hot but the heavy cream ice cream nullified
this effect into a pleasant buzz.  It was made at the Philcon Hot Luck Party in
a hotel ice bucket using dry ice, lots of heavy cream, milk, and chopped
habanero pepper and stirred vigourously by volunteers.  I seem to recall some
ordinary black pepper also being in that but I might be wrong.
