Recipe: Cardamom Ice Cream
If you have a good ice cream maker like we have (see: Kitchen Appliance Overload) you might want to try this recipe for cardamom ice cream. I also made an improvised pint of white chocolate chunk ice cream using some Lindt candies that we had lying around.
Vanilla Ice Cream Base
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
dash of salt
Mix well and let sit for a few hours or preferably overnight.
Cardamom Ice Cream
Grind 8 cardamom pods in a spice grinder and heat in one cup of milk, then strain.
White Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream
Chop six White Chocolate LINDOR Truffles and add to ice cream when it is almost fully blended.
Was sad to learn that the company that introduced me to cardamom ice cream went out of business in 2020. It’s hard to compete in the ice cream market when the Ben & Jerry’s (Unilever) and Häagen-Dazs (Nestlé) brands hog all the freezer space.
