Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the back of a knife. Then crush the cardamom pods with the flat of the blade of the knife.
- Place the milk in a separate pan and heat to just under boiling point, then add the sugar, vanilla seeds, and cardamom pods. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Using a strainer to catch the crushed cardamom pods, pour the milk into the melted chocolate and stir. Add the cream, stir well, and leave to cool at room temperature.
- Once cool, pour into an ice-cream maker and churn following the manufacturer's instructions. Keep in the freezer until required.
BITTERSWEET CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
From the perspective of a home cook, egg-free ice creams are simpler than custard-based ones, and more foolproof. You don't have to worry about tempering the yolks, or fear curdling. A few spoonfuls of bourbon soften the texture of the ice cream, which otherwise would freeze rock solid.

CHOCOLATE CRUNCH ICE CREAM
Making ice cream goes smoothly when you do prep work in advance. I make the custard ahead and refrigerate it overnight. Plus, I toast the almonds beforehand and separate my add-ins into labeled containers. -Rosalie Peters, Caldwell, Texas

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of the ice cream. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, complex flavor.
- Add a touch of spice: The paprika in this recipe adds a subtle warmth and smokiness to the ice cream. If you don't like paprika, you can substitute another spice, such as cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Use agave syrup as a natural sweetener: Agave syrup is a natural sweetener that is lower in calories and has a lower glycemic index than sugar. It also has a slightly earthy flavor that complements the chocolate and paprika in this recipe.
- Chill the ice cream base thoroughly before churning: This will help the ice cream to churn more quickly and smoothly.
- Don't over-churn the ice cream: Over-churning can make the ice cream tough and icy. Churn the ice cream just until it is thick and creamy, about 20-25 minutes.
