Ingredients
for the ice cream
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 10 green cardamom pods
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder, or instant espresso
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
for serving
- a shot or two of freshly brewed espresso for each serving
Instructions
- Put the milk, cream and sugar together in a small saucepan and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Lightly crush the cardamom pods with the back of a spoon until they crack open. Don't lose any of the little black seeds. Add the cardamom pods to the pot, seeds, and all, along with the espresso powder.
- Heat the cream over medium heat JUST until it comes to a simmer, stirring to dissolve the espresso powder. Turn off the heat and let sit for 30 minutes.
- Give the mixture a good stir, and then strain through a mesh sieve. Add the vanilla extract, cover and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream machine and process according to the directions. In my basic Cuisinart model it takes about 15- 20 minutes.
- Spread the soft ice cream into a loaf sized pan and freeze for at least 2-3 hours until scoopable
- To serve, put a scoop of ice cream in a small glass or dish, and then top with a freshly brewed shot of espresso. Eat right away!.
