  • Drain well and transfer to food processor; add butter, honey, and cardamom; process until smooth. With motor running, gradually pour in heated milk, salt and pepper.

Notes

* You can easily substitute whipping cream with more health conscious alternatives which won’t sacrifice taste:  unsweetened soy milk, fat free half and half, non fat evaporated milk.
