Description

Fresh ricotta, toasted walnuts and walnut liqueur delectably team up to produce this subtly sweet, creamy-crunchy homemade ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup walnuts  
  • 2 1/2 cups ricotta cheese, fresh
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Nocino (Italian walnut liqueur)

 

PREPARATION

  1. Toast walnuts in a 350°F degree oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly brown and fragrant. Let cool, rough chop and reserve.
  2. Add ricotta, sugar, cream, and Nocino to a food processer. Pulse until evenly combined.
  3. Chill your ice cream maker following the manufacturer’s instructions. Add ricotta mixture to the ice cream maker and churn until thick. Add walnuts to the ice cream and churn gently just to distribute.
  4. Transfer ice cream to freezer and chill 1-2 hours and serve. If frozen hard, let soften at room temperature before serving.
