Strawberry Ricotta Ice Cream is fresh and creamy. It tastes like the ice cream you get in a tiny cup with a tiny spoon from an expensive ice cream shop. But it is incredibly simple to make at home.
What’s a girl do when she has both ricotta cheese and heavy cream to use up? Make ice cream, of course. Luckily, I also had 1/2 pound of strawberries that needed to be eaten. Toss everything in the blender, dump it in the ice cream machine, and twenty minutes later you have a fantastic frozen treat. Ice cream is one of the easiest desserts to make. Truly. This has about 5 minutes of hands on time.
The funny thing is I don’t even like typical store bought strawberry ice cream. The one and only time I bought Neopolitan ice cream in the last five years, my family, ate all the chocolate and all the vanilla and there was a wall of uneaten strawberry left in the center. After that, I decided to just buy a vanilla and a chocolate and for the Neopolitan combo. But this we loved. I could’ve just drank it straight from the blender if I wasn’t planning on serving it to our company that evening.

Ingredients:
2 cups ricotta cheese
8 oz strawberries, stems and hulls removed
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)

*** If you are concerned about using raw egg yolks you can purchase pasteurized eggs or you can temper the ice cream base.
Instructions:
Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into an ice cream machine and freeze according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: The glycerin helps the ice cream to stay scoopable in the freezer. If you don’t mind letting the ice cream sit out at room temperature for about half an hour before scooping you can omit the glycerin.
