Ingredients

1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened
4 oz pistachios, toasted, roughly chopped
10 oz dried apricots

Combine ice cream and pistachios in a bowl and mix well. Spoon into 8 x 1 cup silicone molds. Cover and freeze 1 hour, or until ice cream is firm.
Meanwhile, for the apricots, place apricots and 2 cups boiling water in a medium saucepan and let stand 30 mins. Add sugar, cardamom pods and cinnamon stick and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 mins or until syrup is reduced by half. Cool 10 mins.
Wipe ice cream molds with a hot, damp cloth and turn out onto serving plates. Serve with the apricots and a little of the cardamom syrup.
