1 pint vanilla ice cream

1/4 cup brewed Chai tea, chilled

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

Caramel squares

Sliced almonds for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Soften the ice cream in a large bowl. Add the tea and spices and mix until thoroughly combined. Pack and re-freeze at least 2 hours.

Unwrap the caramel squares and place them on the baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake until melted and softened. Place another piece of parchment on top and press the caramel into a circle. Cool another 2 minutes. Peel the caramel circles off the parchment and press into mini muffin pans to form a small cup shape. Cool completely.

Scoop ice cream into cups and garnish with almonds.

Halfway Good
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The ice cream was good, though my family members who don't like pepper picked it out of the flavors immediately. Also the... caramel cups were not at all worth it. They did not bake up round, and were hard to form, and once they hardened they were inedible. Cute as serving dishes, but too tiny to hold a decent scoop. I haven't bothered with this recipe again- too much work for nothing special. Read more

Caramel cups aren't round
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I couldn't get the caramel cups to be round. The directions don't say how long to bake them, so maybe that's what I did... wrong. Also, they went flat when I took them out of the muffin pan. Can anyone tell me how long to bake and how to get them round? Thanks, Sue, OHRead more

Great taste
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

As the title suggests-great taste but unforunately wrote the recipe from the show down wrong and didn't chill the chai,so... final product was very icy.I have used my icy mess in banana smoothies and that is a great hit.Will definately try this again.Read more
