Ice Cream Recipes - Ricotta Ice Cream (Ricotta In Gelato)

Ingredients

500 ml/16 fl oz milk

250 ml/8 fl oz double cream

1/2 vanilla pod, split

5 egg yolks

200 g/7 oz caster sugar

200 g/7 oz ricotta

6 tablespoons Strega (Italian herb liqueur)

50 g/2 oz chocolate, finely chopped

Method:

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the milk and cream together with the vanilla pod just to boiling point; set aside.

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Slowly add the hot milk, beating continuously. Return the mixture to the cleaned saucepan over a medium heat and gently stir with a wooden spoon until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon. Leave to cool.

Remove the vanilla pod, then add the ricotta and beat in with a balloon whisk. Stir in the Strega. Churn in an ice cream machine. When the ice cream is almost frozen, add the chocolate and stir in evenly.

Answer 2

I was in Italy the first time I seen this recipe. Forgot all about it until you asked this question. Ricotta is a very nuetral cheese like cream cheese. So In my expertise of culinary arts, I would search other ice cream pies and add/retract from that recipe using ricotta.

Great idea thanks. Forgot all about that!

The one I had was vanilla/ricotta ice cream pie with a rasberry puree. Yummy!
