Riz au Lait: The Frenchman's Ultimate Comfort Food
After typing a post about a wasabi popsicle, I started to think about other spice and and ice combinations. Naturally, I thought of cardamom, one of my favorite spices. A friend of mine recently suggested that we make cardamom ice cream. Unlike wasabi, cardamom is widely used in both savory and sweet dishes, such as rice and pastries. Its deeply aromatic qualities have always attracted me. And now, I'm dying with curiosity to find out its potential with ice cream.
Below are a few recipes you can try at home:
If any of you have tried cardamom ice cream before, I'd love to find out what it tastes like. Please let me know!

It was absolutely delicious, I wish I knew how to describe it. The only thing I can think of is it was slightly reminiscent in taste of authentic greek baklava and even that comparison does not do it justice.

It had a much more intense flavor then I expected and although good is not something you would eat a full serving of. It went better as an accent ice-cream. We ended up serving a huge scoop of their dark chocolate gelato and little scoop of cardamom.
When I get beck to the house I tell you what brand.

Kulfi can be so heavily creamy, but the cardamom reins that in and offers a light, warm spice without too much fire or any extra sweetness. Indian food on a stick -- what's not to love?
I bet a rosewater sorbet would be gangbusters. I'll try making one this weekend.

Excellent combination and excellent flavor...My mother would also make a milky pudding type indian dessert called Paisam (think rice pudding but with vermicelli instead), it was mainl a birthday treat but i remember Cardamom was a big flavor component in that and although it is typically served warm or room temp. i know many people who prefer it cold :-) You know what i think would taste amazing a masala chai ice cream, (of course flavored with cardamom)mmmm....

1. A delicious combination of not-too-sweet and spicy/savory
2. Mostly gone
