Share recipe
Description
A cool, creamy treat with a warm, spicy taste reminiscent of chai.
Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 13 cardamom pods
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 6 large egg yolks
Directions
- 1. Combine heavy cream and milk in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla extract, garam masala, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk lightly and bring to a simmer.
- 2. Beat sugar and egg yolks together in a bowl until runny, pale yellow, and falling off the whisk in thick ribbons.
- 3. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan, whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs. Continue whisking the mixture over high heat until it reaches 185 degrees F (85 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
