Cardamom Pistachio Ice Cream

Author Notes: Think of this as kulfi with a kick. Rose water helps to give the ice cream a heady floral scent and, aside from adding flavor, the pistachio liquer gives it a slight chewiness. Serve it with your favorite Indian meal and you'll be racing through the nan, straight for dessert. - hillary
Makes 1.25 pints
- 2 teaspoons ground green cardamom
- 1.5 cups half & half
- 0.5 cups sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons rose water
- 2 tablespoons Dumante (pistachio liquer)
- Heat half & half and cardamom over low heat, until it comes to a simmer. Once it is simmering, add the sugar and allow the mixture to continue heating until the sugar is dissolved and the flavor of the cardamom has infused, about 10-15 minutes. Take care that your mixture does not boil.
- Remove cardamom infused half & half from the heat and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Place the egg yolks in a blender and mix, streaming in the cardamom half & half slowly until both are well incorporated.
- Add heavy cream, Dumante and rose water to the blender and mix.
- Chill your ice cream base until is has completely cooled, then churn according to your ice cream maker instructions.

Sounds lovely! I just pulled out my ice cream maker a few weeks ago, and will try this one soon.

This looks like a lovely combination of flavors and answers my constant question of qhat to serve after Indian food. Can't wait to try it (but I have to find this liqueur first!)

I ran into this problem recently, as my local liquor stores don't seem to carry Dumante. I ended up ordering another bottle online. Well worth it, I think. If you google the name, you should be able to find stores that will ship to your area.
