Blackstrap! Hunh! What's it good for?

Yeah, so I sent my friend off to the store to get molasses for this shoo fly pie I was making, and he brings some back, and says "It's organic and it was $1.50 cheaper than Grandma's, so I went for it!" and, yes, it turns out to be blackstrap. Which he didn't know about.

So I've been making very earthy flavored desserts and we're getting a bit acclimated to the taste but still... it sure would be nice to have something that allowed its odd flavor to shine properly. There's that gingerbread recipe on another thread, but I just made ginger cookies. I've been adding it to bread as a sweetener with no noticeable effect (outside of changing the bread's color).

So, any suggestions?

Or Indian Pudding? (although, the recipe takes 5 - 7 hours! to bake)

OK, that's crazy enough that I might try it.

I love eating it with fresh (American) biscuits

along with strong black coffee, it's a good addition to a chilli sauce
