Coffee and Cardamom Custard (with photo)
« on: September 12, 2011, 01:06:28 am »
Name of Recipe: Coffee and Cardamom Custard

Ingredients:
6 cardamom pods
2 tsp instant coffee
25g rapadura sugar
0.12g stevia (2 of the tiny spoons that come with the jar of stevia powder or you could add an additional 25g rapadura sugar)
35g cornflour
2 eggs
500g rice milk (or preferred milk)

Preparation:
Crush cardamom pods to remove seeds and discard the shells.
Place cardamom seeds, coffee, sugar, stevia and cornflour into TM bowl and pulverise for 30 seconds on speed 9. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
Add the eggs and milk and cook for 7 minutes at 90.C on speed 4.

Tips/Hints:
I didn't pulverise the cardamom, etc for the full 30 seconds which is why you can see little bits of cardamom in my image. Since making it again and doing it for 30 seconds it turns out perfectly.
You could use four pods if you don’t want a strong cardamom flavour. The custard tastes lovely warm but even better when it's cold.

Foodie Mum - I'm not a big fan of stevia and the after taste but don't even taste it in this custard.

Coops - I made this yesterday and it's just lovely. I did a double batch and used about 190g rapadura, no stevia. Oh and with the leftovers we put it in the freezer then back in to thermie for yummo ice-cream tonight.

This looks good, Foodie Mum - must try my husband out on this.  I asssume it would work just the same using 'plunger' coffee and soy milk?

Yum, I love the idea of those flavours in custard!  And even more, I love the idea of using the stevia, anything to cut the sugar is great for us.  I have mixed results with stevia but I think that it's slightly unusual flavour will lend itself really well to coffee and cardamon.  Wish I had some cardamon pods now, must get some soon!

I haven't tried that but it sounds good. I think it would work well!

Oh, I do so lack patience to try this one, Foodie Mum.  I'm straight off the computer and down to the supermarket to buy the necessary cardamom.  :)

Did you like it as icecream?
