1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground cardamom (for a Middle Eastern twist)
1/4 cup chopped pistachios (for garnish)

1/2 cup dates, finely chopped (for added sweetness and texture)

Tools Required:

The entire preparation time was thirty minutes.

Heat the heavy cream:

Mix Chocolate and Cream:

Add Dates: 
To add a bit of natural sweetness and a chewy texture, fold in the finely chopped dates.
