Ever since being introduced to tonka beans at Paule Caillat's Promenades Gourmandes, I've been championing them at home and here on S.D. To me, they're the Lambada of the spice world — sexy, exotic and forbidden. Tonkas have gotten the green light in France and numerous other enlightened nations, but our FDA gives them a thumbs down.

Tonka's intriguingly fragrant flavor weaves together traces of familiar tropical spices like vanilla, cinnamon and cloves with unnameable nuances for a whole new taste experience. I included the almond brittle to give the ice cream a little more oomph and chew without overpowering the pure essence of tonka bean which worked out perfectly.

Served with farm stand plums broiled with brown sugar, our guests swooned — with pleasure, not from a deleterious effect of the tonka bean. Though there were plenty of jokes along those lines.
I passed the beans around the table and everyone went home with a little bit of contraband in their pocket.
