- Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, dried, and sliced
- Vanilla ice cream (one big scoop per person)
- Pernod liqueur (anisette)*
- Black pepper, coarsely ground
-
Cover individual dessert plates with a thin layer or "mirror" of Pernod, approximately 1 tablespoons per serving, 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 a few generous turns of your pepper mill over the strawberries and the Pernod on each serving plate (do not go overboard with the pepper - more is not better). Serve immediately.
* Pernod is the brand name of the French licorice-flavored liqueur called Pastis. In southern France, it is know as the "milk of Provence." Pastis is a charming drink – the first glass invites the second and very often the second the third.
