DIY Cardamom Infused Non Dairy Ice Cream

I swear, it tastes like it is made with cream.

 

But this pictorial recipe will show you how to make this incredibly delicious dessert.

 

In a pot, place a few pods of cardamom

SAM_2639

add sugar, 1 cup

SAM_2640

salt, 1/4 tsp or the amount that fits in that tiny space in your palm

SAM_2642

SAM_2643

How much you ask?

SAM_2644

That much.

And

SAM_2645

yes, the full can.

 

Then

SAM_2646

Simmer for about 30 minutes.

 

Then, let it cool for a bit, puree in a bender  and put into an ice cream maker. That’s it.  If you don’t let it cool, then you risk some of the hot liquid jumping out of the blender top like mine did today and burning my wrist.

Yes,It tastes really decadent and mysterious and very, very milchig/dairy. It is worth the burned wrist.

You’re welcome.

    My husband just missed buying an ice cream maker at a yard sale a few weeks ago. This is exactly the kind of thing, since I am lactose intolerant, that I want to make. We were in India years ago and our hosts served homemade cardamon flavored ice cream that my husband adored.

    I just looked up prices. you can buy a new ice cream maker for as low as $60. The ones with internal freezers cost a couple of hundred. We got ours, with an internal freezer as a hand me down from a neighbor.

    You can use the coconut base with fresh lemon as well.. I made that last week. You don't have to cook the lemon. i could see doing a similarly steeped cinnamon ice cream. I more often d will make a non dairy ice cream by cooking a couple of table spoons of starch, flour or corn starch with sugar and water and flavorings until the mixture boils and gets thick. I will sometimes add a couple of beaten eggs to the mixture or a glugg of olive oil. The smooth enlarged starch molecules give a smooth mouth-feel...like butter fat. The eggs also contribute to that rich mouth-feel. I guess that if you don't have an ice cream maker you can keep pulling the mixture out of the freezer and whipping it up in a mixer and then trowing in back in the freezer to freeze more. You can look up old fashioned recipes for "still frozen ice cream". If you have your mother's old copy of The Settlement Cookbook there will be a bunch of recipes there - not for the non dairy...but for techniques and flavor ideas.

Connecting with the past

A few months ago I had a craving for my father’s chicken fricassee.  If my father were still alive I would have called him up and he would have talked me through the process of making it.    My father is no longer alive so I turned to my cookbooks and the recipes I found for chicken fricassee were nothing at all like the stew of chicken necks, gizzards and wings in a watery sweet and sour tomato sauce that I enjoyed as a kid.  I assumed that the dish was an invention of my father’s. I then attempted to replicate the dish from my memory of it and failed.   A couple of weeks ago I saw an article on the internet, and I can’t remember where, that talked about Jewish fricassee  and it sounded an awful lot like the dish I was hankering after. This afternoon I went to the butcher and picked up all of the chicken elements of the dish, a couple of packages each of wings, necks and gizzards. My father never cooked directly from a cook book. He used to re...

The light themed tallit has been shipped!!!

 I had begun speaking to Sarah about making her a tallit in the middle of August. It took a few weeks to nail down the design. For Sarah it would have been ideal if the tallit were completed in time for her to wear it on Rosh HaShanah., the beginning of her year as senior rabbi of her congregation. For me, in an ideal world, given the realities of preparing for the High Holidays I would have finished this tallit in the weeks after Sukkot. So we compromised and I shipped off the tallit last night.  I would have prefered to have more time but I got the job done in time. This tallit was made to mark Sarah's rise to the position of senior rabbi but it was also a reaction to this year of darkness. She chose a selection of verses about light to be part of her tallit. 1)  אֵל נוֹרָא עֲלִילָה  God of awesome deeds ( from a yom kippur Liturgical poem) 2)  אוֹר חָדָשׁ עַל־צִיּוֹן תָּאִיר   May You shine a new light on Zion ( from the liturgy) 3)  יָאֵר יְהֹ...

A Passover loss

 My parents bought this tablecloth during their 1955 visit to Israel. It is made out of  linen from the first post 1948 flax harvest. The linen is heavy and almost crude. The embroidery is very fine. We used this cloth every Passover until the center wore thin.  You can see the cloth on the table in the background of this photo of my parents and nephew My Aunt Sheva bought my mother a replacement cloth. The replacement cloth is made out of a cotton poly blend. The embroidery is crude and the colors not nearly as nice. The old cloth hung in our basement. We used the new cloth and remembered the much nicer original cloth. I loved that my aunt wanted to replace the cloth, I just hated the replacement because it was so much less than while evoking the beauty of the original. After my father died my mother sat me down and with great ceremony gave me all of her best tablecloths. She also gave me the worn Passover cloth and suggested that I could mend it. I did. Year after year ...
