Spices bring a ton of flavor to my cooking, and I try to use them at all times. One of the spices that is widely used in desserts in Kerala is cardamom. So here’s one of my favorite dessert snacks using this aromatic ingredient — my Pistachio Bombs. It’s a nutrient-packed treat made with medjool dates as well as blueberries, cashews and other ingredients.
