1/4 cup green cardamom seeds
2 cups heavy cream
6 egg yolks
4 tablespoons sugar
1 large ripe banana
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Crush cardamom seeds with the back of a heavy knife and combine, outer shells and all, with cream in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. In top of a double boiler whisk yolks with sugar until sugar dissolves. Cook eggs over simmering water, whisking constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and gradually strain cream into yolks, whisking. Pour sauce back into top of double boiler and cook, stirring constantly, for 10 minutes until thickened. Temperature of sauce should not exceed 165 degrees F or it will curdle. Remove sauce from heat and continue to stir for 3 minutes to cool.

This mousse was a complete disaster. It didn't set properly and the crème anglaise was too runny.

I didn't care for the flavor of the cardamom crème anglaise. I think it would have been better with a different flavor.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler desserts in the future.

I'm not usually a fan of banana desserts, but this mousse was surprisingly delicious. The cardamom crème anglaise really balanced out the sweetness of the bananas and made for a very sophisticated dessert.

The cardamom crème anglaise was the star of the show! It was so flavorful and creamy, I could have eaten it all on its own. The banana mousse was also very good, but the crème anglaise really made the dish.
