Reappropriation recipe book: ice cream that tastes like a persian (or indian) cookie
Get a bunch of vanilla ice cream. About 2 pints. Mix in about 2 tablespoons ground cardamom and 1 tablespoon orange blossom water (which you can get at an international grocery). Mix it up. Use the elbow grease!! I mixed it in a 32 oz square ziploc container so I could mash it around without sliding it around. Adjust to taste. It might not be a bad idea to go light on the cardomom and then up it if you want more.
I put it back in the freezer with no ill repercussions and ate the last bit of it two days later, still good.
I got the idea from my mom's appropriation persian ice cream. She'd mix vanilla ice cream with rose water and saffron. For bonus points, she'd freeze heavy cream into a thin sheet and break it up into cream chips. Those cream chips would get mixed into the ice cream too. Voila! Appropriation persian ice cream!
