Cardamom Honey Ice Cream
During a recent conversation with friends on a sunny afternoon, I found myself discussing my go-to ice cream flavors alongside my companions. What’s a challenging inquiry indeed!
I had a trifecta of tantalizing flavors competing for my attention – the zesty zing of lemon ice cream, the tart sweetness of black raspberry ice cream, and the celebratory cheer of birthday cake ice cream, all vying to be my top choice. A fellow food enthusiast shared with him that their all-time favourite flavour was a unique cardamom honey ice cream they had crafted some time ago.
Honey Ice Cream
The cardamom and honey ice cream flavor combination lingered in my thoughts. Given the unique flavor combination of honey and cardamom, I had to indulge in this novel ice cream concoction without delay.
The intensity of the honey flavour in this ice cream will depend on the type of honey used during its preparation. A basic grocery store honey typically provides a robust and satisfying honey flavour. A darker honey will yield a richer and more pronounced flavor in your ice cream.
Honey ice cream boasts a velvety smooth consistency that remarkably retains its creamy essence for an extended period, remaining effortlessly scoopable even after prolonged storage in the freezer. This unique formulation ensures the ice cream remains creamy and smooth even when frozen to a very low temperature.
Cardamom Ice Cream
To prepare this dish, you will require the following essential components:
- green cardamom pods
- honey
- ground cinnamon
- kosher salt
- whole milk
- heavy cream
- vanilla extract
Honey Ice Cream Recipe
Crush the cardamom pods gently, then transfer the shells and seeds to a saucepan for infusion. Combine the warm tea with a drizzle of golden honey, a sprinkle of earthy cinnamon, a pinch of flaky salt, and a splash of creamy milk to create a soothing elixir that calms the senses. Whisk together ingredients over medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the honey dissolves as the mixture reaches a gentle simmer. Let it simmer, then carefully remove from the heat; ensure the pot remains covered as you let it steep undisturbed for exactly 30 minutes.
Carefully position a fine-mesh strainer over a substantial bowl, then slowly pour the mixture through it to effectively eliminate any remaining seeds and shells. With a gentle swirl, combine the rich cream and subtle vanilla extract into the velvety warm ice cream base. Combine ingredients thoroughly, then refrigerate to chill.
Once you’re prepared to churn, re-whisk the mixture thoroughly before pouring it into the ice cream maker. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for churning. Store the completed ice cream in a securely sealed container and refrigerate until you’re prepared to serve.
