Saffron Cardamom Ice Cream
The saffron is definitely the star of this ice cream. If you’ve never used saffron before in sweet applications, this recipe is a great starting point. A little bit truly goes a long way and it lends such a distinct warmness (not to mention, beautiful golden color) to everything it touches.
