Dark Chocolate Cardamom Brandy Ice cream
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup (8 oz) dark chocolate chunks
- 2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2-4 tbsp brandy. Hitesh liked the strong flavor of brandy in this ice cream; I found I could go a little lighter. So start with 1-2 tbsp of brandy, taste test and adjust the alcohol according to your liking.
Directions:
- Over a water bath melt chocolate with cream and honey until you get a creamy and well-blended mixture.
- Next add cardamom, vanilla and brandy and stir-in.
- Let the cream mixture cool to room temperature then pour into ice cream maker.
- Once ice cream is thickened transfer to a container and freeze to serve later.
- Serve dark chocolate brandy cardamom ice cream with biscotti or a chocolate chip cookie, or for a little bit of color add a few sprinkles of edible marigold petals.
