Cardamom Caramel Ice Cream

Grilled fare and ice cream are one of the constants of the world of barbecue. This one, kulfi, has a haunting flavor that lies midway between malt and caramel—the result of the long, slow simmering of the milk to reduce it by two thirds. To this add the exotic flavors of cardamom and pistachio nuts and you’ve got an ice cream quite unlike anything in the North American repertoire.
