    This cloudlike dessert gives ice cream a run for its money. A tangy yogurt mousse is topped with a floral strawberry jam and garnished with (surprise!) black pepper. If you’d like a bit of crunch, top with chopped pistachios or almonds.

    Tip: Pump up the jam

    You can use any soft summer fruit to make this quick jam. Try plums, apricots, raspberries or blueberries for a fresh spin.
