This is an extremely simple dessert to make! Especially great for your dinner party. Your guests will be delighted.

Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, dried, and sliced
Vanilla ice cream (one big scoop per person)
Pernod liqueur (anisette)
Coarsely ground black pepper

Cover individual dessert plates with a thin layer or "mirror" of Pernod by spooning some Pernod on the middle of the plate and then turning the plate around to spread.

Scoop ice cream on the middle of each plate. Cover the ice cream with strawberry slices until ice cream is invisible. Grind pepper over the strawberries and the Pernod (do not go overboard with the pepper - more is not better). Serve immediately.
