Steps:

• If using a cardamom pod, discard the pod husk and ground the cardamom to a powder. Add ground cardamom to milk. Bring milk and cardamom to a boil and continue to simmer for 10 minutes to infuse milk with cardamom flavor. Stir continuously. Stir in any film that develops on top of the milk. Let cool. Whip cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the evaporated milk and continue to stir cream cheese to combine both ingredients and keep the cream cheese smooth and not lumpy.
