*Serving size calculator is approximate, feel free to adjust by adding a pinch here and there as needed

Method

Crack the cardamom pods and remove the seeds. Toast the seeds gently in a dry pan until fragrant, then finely grind.
Fold through softened vanilla bean ice cream and refreeze until firm.
Warm the mud cake in a low oven or microwave until just heated through.
Crumble generously into serving bowls.
Scoop the cardamom ice cream on top.
Using the back of a spoon, create a small divot in the ice cream and drizzle in about ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil.
Serve immediately while the hot cake meets the cold ice cream.
