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.

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

I didn't make the ice cream so I'm not rating it but the caramel cups were an interesting idea. Like another reviewer said,... you can do many things with them. I used them instead of pasties and all my girlfriends loved them!Read more
