Dark Chocolate Cardamom Ice Cream
This easy-to-make summer treat can be made non-dairy with coconut milk or another milk alternative if desired. The consistency will vary depending on the “milk” chosen, but the end result will still be very chocolatey. It’s not too sweet, so feel free to add more sugar as well as extras such as cacao nibs, chocolate chips, dried fruits, or chopped fresh fruit or berries.
Comfort Custard
This egg custard is simple and nourishing comfort food. It’s ideal for anyone with a sensitive stomach or compromised digestion. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled. For Ayurveda enthusiasts, when taken warm, it’s calming to Vata. When chilled or cool, it eases Pitta, and when a teaspoon of ghee along with a bit of ginger and cardamom are added, it becomes more balancing to Kapha. For a delicious twist, turn this into maple custard by using maple sugar, or into caramel-style custard by using jaggery in place of raw sugar.
