Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 1/2 oz dark (70% cocoa solids) chocolate
Seeds from 1/2 vanilla bean
2 cardamom pods
3/4 cup whole milk
1/3 cup superfine sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
  • Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife. Then crush the cardamom pods with the flat of the blade of the knife.
  • Place the milk in a separate pan and heat to just under boiling point, then add the sugar, vanilla seeds, and cardamom pods. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Using a strainer to catch the crushed cardamom pods, pour the milk into the melted chocolate and stir. Add the cream, stir well, and leave to cool at room temperature.
  • Once cool, pour into an ice-cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's instructions. Keep in the freezer until required.
