COFFEE-CARDAMOM ICE CREAM WITH FIGS Spicy-sweet cardamom is a perfect complement to bitter coffee, and baked phyllo pieces add carby crunch without an overload of calories. INGREDIENTS ¾ cup heavy cream 4 tsp instant espresso powder 1 cup non-fat sweetened condensed milk ¾ cup low-fat plain yogurt ½ tsp ground cardamom vegetable cooking spray 1 sheet (9" x 14") phyllo dough 6 fresh or dried figs, sliced DIRECTIONS In a bowl, beat cream until doubled in size; set aside. In another bowl, dissolve espresso powder in 1 tsp warm water. Gently fold together whipped cream, dissolved espresso, condensed milk, yogurt and cardamom until incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, 6 hours. Heat oven to 350°. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
