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.

  • 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.
