Instructions:
- Gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe.
- Place the 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until the strawberries are smooth and pureed.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1/3 cup of ricotta cheese and 1.5 cups of condensed milk.
- Mix well until the ricotta is fully incorporated into the condensed milk.
- Stir in the 2 tsp of vanilla extract and the strawberry puree to the ricotta and condensed milk mixture.
- Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, pour in the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Gently fold the strawberry and ricotta mixture into the whipped cream.
- Use a spatula to combine the mixtures, making sure to keep the whipped cream light and airy.
- Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or an airtight, freezer-safe container.
- Smooth out the top with a spatula to ensure it is evenly spread.
- Place the container in the freezer for at least 4-6 hours or until the ice cream is firm.
- When ready to serve, take the container out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls or cones, and enjoy your homemade berry and ricotta ice cream!
Tips:
- Make sure the strawberries are fully frozen before blending to ensure a smooth texture.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for about 15 minutes before whipping the heavy cream to achieve optimal volume.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the strawberries for a more uniform consistency.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mixture gently to maintain its light and airy texture.
- For added flavor or a twist, try adding a handful of chocolate chips or a splash of your favorite liqueur.
