Instead, I’ve taken to making it from scratch, and as an occasional indulgence it is well worth the effort. Without being overly rich or sweet, this version has the potent flavor of bittersweet chocolate, infused with the subtle perfumes of cardamom and cinnamon. The finish leaves a beautiful flavor memory on the palate.
