Ricotta Ice Cream

Serves: 6

Print this Recipe

(Gelato di Ricotta)
Category: Ice Cream (Gelato)
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ricotta ice cream is a favorite flavor at Giolitti, one of several excellent Roman gelaterias. Every night in the summer, large crowds gather to buy cones packed with their delicious ice creams.
A couple of tablespoons of chopped chocolate or pistachios can be added to the ice-cream mixture. Serve this rich ice cream in small portions, drizzled with a little orange liqueur or rum, if you like.
Both candied orange zest and citron are available in Italian and Middle Eastern specialty stores or from mail order sources (INFORMATION AND SPECIAL TECHNIQUES: 06- Sources).


   16 ounces fresh whole or part-skim ricotta cheese
   1/2 cup sugar
   2 tablespoons sweet or dry Marsala
   1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
   1/2 cup chilled heavy or whipping cream
   2 tablespoons chopped citron
   2 tablespoons chopped candied orange zest


1 At least 20 minutes before you are ready to make the dessert, place a large bowl and the beaters of an electric mixer in the refrigerator. Place the ricotta in a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. With a rubber spatula, push the ricotta through the strainer into the bowl. Whisk in the sugar, Marsala, and vanilla.

2 Remove the bowl and beaters from the refrigerator. Pour the cream into the bowl and whip the cream at high speed until it holds its shape softly when the beaters are lifted, about 4 minutes.

3 With a flexible spatula, fold the cream, citron, and zest into the ricotta mixture. Scrape the mixture into the container of an ice-cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

4 Pack the ice cream into a plastic container, cover, and freeze up to 24 hours.
