Notes
Black cardamom is smokier than most cardamom. You can substitute white or green cardamom but the flavor will be slightly different.
Most of the prep time involves having the ice cream mixture in the fridge or freezer. Most of the cooking time involves having the ice cream in the ice cream freezer. The active time for this recipe is about 25 minutes.
You can vary the quantities of milk, half and half, and cream– it should come out to 3 1/2 cups total, but you may like a different texture better. Use more cream and less milk for thicker ice cream, more milk and less cream if you like it lighter.
