1. To create the cardamom caramel sauce, boil cream with crushed cardamom pods. Cover cream tightly, take off heat and let steam at LEAST 30 minutes with pods.
2. Boil 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water and 1 tablespoon corn syrup. Simmer until mixture turns a medium amber color.
3. Remove cardamom pods from cream. Add cream and cognac to caramel mixture. Take off heat and stir.
4. To make the Cardamom Ice Cream, place the milk vanilla bean and crushed cardamom pods in a heavy pan and slowly bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let infuse for 20 minutes. Take out vanilla bean and scrape seeds into liquid. Strain cardamom seeds.
5. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale. Gently reheat the milk or cream and beat about 1 cup of it into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the milk and return the pan to a low heat. Stir until the custard is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; this may take approximately 10 minutes. Do not boil.
6. Remove the pan from the heat and continue to stir until it has almost cooled. Fold the cream and the ground cardamom into the custard. Freeze entire mixture in an ice cream maker following the manufacturer's instructions. (Make sure that the ice cream base is fully chilled before spinning in the ice cream maker as some machines won't spin to the correct consistency if it's not cold enough.)

8. Heat brownsugar, butter, corn syrup and vanilla in sauce pan. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat. Add flour, almonds and grapefruit zest.
