Strawberries in ice cream is a natural combination. Our own Strawberries & Cream flavor is proof of that. But what if you added jalapeno peppers to that mixture? Would it still be good?
That’s what one ice cream enthusiast did. Rather than tossing jalapenos into the mix, she whipped up a batch of “jalapeno sugar” (pictured below), which consists of a chopped jalapeno pepper, several slices of candied jalapeno and some sugar. The result is something she describes as ” a mixed message of spicy, cool, and creamy at the same time.”
She seemed to like it. The only question is, would you eat it?
If you’ve got a technical question about the ice cream making process or some other inquiry about the nuances of America’s favorite treat, chances are Ernie has the answer. He might not be able to answer all questions, but he’ll try his best and some may be featured on the Ice Cream Journal.
this sounds so COOL, for something made hot.
would I eat it, of course.
Keep the original!
YOU BET!!
oh no!
Sure I would try it
This doesn’t seem like something I would care for. However, it could be the start of a whole new type of ice cream. Like strawberry, balasamic vinegar. I never had it but I heard that’s supposed to be a good combo.
Nope.
nope
no thanks, I’ll pass. That cannot come close to the original strawberries and cream for good taste. Let’s keep the spicy stuff in the main meal and keep the sweet stuff for dessert.
I don’t think that is something that I would enjoy, but I know lots of people to put hot sauce on everything and I am sure they would love this combination.

Turkey Hill hasn’t disappointed me yet, so yes I would try it

Absolutely not! It sounds terrible and would ruin the taste of great Turkey Hill ice cream.
I don’t think it would be something I’d like. Pass.
As someone who made ice cream for years, I believe the best strawberry ice cream in the world is TURKEY HILL ! I wouldn’t change it with any kind of spice!
Yes, I would definately try this Strawberry Jalapeno. Sounds interesting.
Although it looks like any other topping, I think that I would take a pass on adding the jalapeno sugar to top off a perfectly good strawberry ice cream dish. Now the question is, how does the jalapeno sugar taste as a sauce for mexican food?
I would try it, But don’t think I would eat it ? than again It just may be better one thinks .
I don’t think so
I don’t eat hot peppers so even the wonder of Turkey Hill ice cream wouldn’t entice me!
I am crazy about Turkeyhill strawberry ice cream and one o my favorite jams is jalapeno jam or jelly. So, it sounds like a winner.
I’m with Esther, “I don’t think so.”
No way Jose!
Not at all.
NOPE!!!!! :O
No way in my house. Hubby is waiting for the “Box of Chocolate” to come out in February which for Valentine’s day I will have to get him a few tubs.
The only hot sauce on my ice cream, better be Hot Fudge!
Jalapenos would ruin my strawberry ice cream. Therefore, I would not buy it. I might taste a little.
Strawberry and cream is already a hot combination way add jalapeno peppers.
yES yES yES….i LOVE TO TRY NEW THINGS
yes i would eat it had cherry with hot pepper was good
NO WAY!!! Not a fan of the spicy.
I would sample it out of curiosity. I prefer the cool sweetness of ice cream but live a little …go for it !
No! don’t ruin your good reputatation, leave well enough alone.
You will lose me as a good customer.
No way! Yuck.
I’d try it once and then deceide. Probably would prefer a small taste. Hot spicey things are cooled by creamy ingredients so maybe this would be just fine.
Sorry No, jalapeno’s and I don’t get along. But I’m sure others would find it yummy.
Sure, it could be just as good as pepper jelly over cream cheese.
I’m not a big fan of very spicy foods but I would try this. I think the cold and hot combo would be interesting plus milk is the best beverage to take to quell the burning mouth after eating hot foods. Therefore I think the ice cream would cancel out the spiciness.
I might give it a try!
Well it might do the trick and help a lot of people lose weight by turning them against ice cream. For myself I would not try it.
Yes! It reminds me of the taste of jalapeno jelly on toast with cream cheese. It’s hot and spicy contrasted with cool and creamy. The tastes and textures work well together. Something like jalapeno, strawberries and cream (maybe even with a soft graham cracker crumble mixed in?) sounds great!
Sounds spicy and nicy. Sure I’d try it.
Most definitely! I think I would even prefer to combine the jalapeño with a dark chocolate ice cream (or any chocolate ice cream).
Thanks, but NO thanks. Wouldn’t want to spoil the taste of my TH. Besides, I am not a big fan of hot type food. I will have to pass. Sorry about that!!!!!!!
I think it sounds like a good combination. I would try it!
I would certainly try it but doubt it would ever be our favorite.
Iwould not eat it.I don’t like hot peppers.
I love Ice Cream but that is one flavor I would have to pass on.
…there’s a “strong” possibility that i just might.
Sweet & Heat compliment each other! The idea isn’t to overpower the strawberry but to enhance it.
I would certainly try it (in a moderate amount). If I didn’t like it I always have all the other Turkey Hill flavors to fall back on.
Sweet & Hot!! What a combo!!
I’d probably try a sample but prefer my strawberry and cream just the way it is…smooth, creamy, fruity and delicious.
Never. Why spoil something that’s “scrumptiously” delicious on it’s own………
That is an adulteration of ice cream!
Never!!
JUST THE STRAWBERRY PLEASE!!!
Love too!!!
I am not into anything spicy so that would be a no for me.
might try it. sweet strawberry and hot peppers. could be a good combo
As much as I like to try new things, that is not one of them.
NO!! I’m with LindaR. The only thing HOT on my ice cream is Hot Fudge, even though I DO like hot peppers. I just don’t think my stomach would take it!!!
yuck no
I don’t eat jalapenos no matter how they disguise them! I want my TH completely cold!
i would probably TRY one bite, but would definitely have to have a large bowl of mint chocolate chip right next to it that I could dive into after the tasting!
I’d eat an ice cream that was strawberry jalapeno but the photo above isn’t appealing to me
This sounds absolutely repulsive to me.
