Our Goupie Cardamom with White chocolate was inspired by an Indian dessert dish involving carrots and cardamom, that had long been a favourite with the Goupie team. We love cardamom so much that we also included it in our Goupie White Christmas, blending the spice with orange and cranberries to create a light, but tasty Christmas treat.…
