One of my favorite desserts is a cannoli, so when I saw a recipe for cannoli ice cream I knew I had to make it. This ice cream is creamy and tastes very similar to cannoli filing. An ice cream well worth making.
Cannoli Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups ricotta
- 2 ounces dark chocolate chips
Directions:
- Pour half and half, sugar and vanilla into a blender and blend until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add in the ricotta and blend until the mixture is very smooth.
- Put into the refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the mixture is nice and cold.
- Pour the mixture into your ice cream maker and follow manufacturer's directions.
- While the ice cream is churning, roughly chop the chocolate chips.
- Add the chocolate about 5 minutes before the ice cream is done.
- Scoop ice cream into a freezer safe container with a tight fitting lid and freeze for several hours.
- Let ice cream sit for 10 minutes before serving, it freezes very firm.
Enjoy!!!
