Categories     dessert

Time 6h15m

Yield 6 servings (1 quart ice cream)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
1 pound full-fat ricotta cheese
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
2 oranges, zested
1 vanilla bean, caviar (seeds) removed, or 1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt, optional
1 cup raspberries
1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Steps:

  • Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl of a food processor. Process until stiff peaks form, for about a minute and a half, making sure to not overwhip, as it will be harder to mix later. Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl.
  • Return the food processor bowl to the base (no need to clean). Add the ricotta, sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, vanilla caviar and salt, if using. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Using a rubber spatula, add the ricotta mixture to the bowl of whipped cream and fold in gently. Transfer to a freezeproof container with a lid and freeze until firm, at least 6 hours.
  • Serve topped with a few raspberries and the chopped pistachios.

Categories     dessert

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Homemade Ricotta (recipe follows)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons liquid honey
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or sliced, depending on size (see Cook's Note)
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh raspberries
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh blueberries
Fresh Raspberry Sauce (recipe follows)
Grated lemon zest, for serving
4 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons good white wine vinegar
1 (6-ounce) package fresh raspberries
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup (12 ounces) seedless raspberry jam, such as Tiptree (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon framboise liqueur

Steps:

  • Place the Homemade Ricotta in a medium bowl and stir in the sugar, honey, and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for up to 2 hours. In another bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
  • When ready to serve, divide the berries among 6 bowls. With an ice cream scoop, place a large dollop of the ricotta in each bowl and drizzle with lots of the Fresh Raspberry Sauce. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a deep bowl. Dampen 2 pieces of cheesecloth with water and line the sieve with a double layer of the cheesecloth.
  • Pour the milk and cream into a medium stainless-steel or enameled pot, such as Le Creuset, and stir in the salt. Bring to a full rolling boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and pour in the vinegar. Allow the mixture to stand for one minute, until it curdles. It will separate into thick parts (the curds) and milky parts (the whey).
  • Pour the mixture into the cheesecloth-lined sieve and allow it to drain into the bowl at room temperature for 20 minutes (for soft ricotta) to 25 minutes (for firmer ricotta), occasionally discarding the liquid that collects in the bowl. Transfer the ricotta to a bowl, discarding the cheesecloth and any remaining liquid. Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • The ricotta will keep, refrigerated, for 4 to 5 days.
  • Place the raspberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer for 4 minutes. Pour the cooked raspberries, the jam, and the framboise into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until smooth. Pour into a container and chill. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to one week.

CHOCOLATE-FLAKE RASPBERRY ICE CREAM



Chocolate-Flake Raspberry Ice Cream image

A few years back, I made a delicious discovery: I could get the luxurious texture of French-style, custard-based ice cream with a recipe for eggless, Philadelphia-style ice cream. My ice cream has the usual cream, milk and sugar, but it's also got powdered milk for richness, honey for smoothness, and alcohol for scoopability. The vodka keeps the ice cream soft and creamy, desirable in any ice cream and vital when there are berries, which have a tendency to go from juicy to rock-hard in the freezer. Any berries will work in this recipe, but I use raspberries, fresh or frozen, and bolster their flavor and color with a little freeze-dried raspberry powder (optional, but nice). The chocolate flakes are made with melted dark chocolate and coconut oil. Drizzled into the ice cream at the end of churning, the chocolate spins into flakes; drizzled over the ice cream before serving, it hardens on contact.

Categories     snack, ice creams and sorbets

Time 15m

Yield 1 generous quart

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces/340 grams semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons coconut oil
8 ounces/225 grams fresh (or frozen) raspberries (if using frozen, don't defrost)
2 cups/480 milliliters heavy cream
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk (shake well before measuring)
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons powdered milk
3 tablespoons vodka
2 tablespoons freeze-dried raspberry powder (optional)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Make the chocolate flake and topping: Mix together the chocolate and oil in a heatproof bowl fitted over a saucepan of simmering water. Gently heat and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is glossy and smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup to use as the flake and the rest for the topping. You can make the flake and topping up to 5 days ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Warm to melt before using.
  • Make the ice cream: Working with a stand or immersion blender, blend all the ingredients, scraping the container occasionally, until smooth. (Pay attention to the powdered milk; it has a pesky way of clumping.) Cover, and refrigerate the mixture for up to 1 day, or churn right away. When you're ready, pour the mixture into the ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer's directions.
  • Just before the ice cream is ready, open the top of the machine and, with the blade spinning, gradually drizzle in the reserved 1/2 cup of warmed chocolate flake. Churn for another 1 or 2 minutes to fully incorporate the flakes. Pack the ice cream into a container, cover and freeze for at least 6 hours before serving.
  • Once the ice cream is ready to serve, take the container out 5 minutes before scooping. (Its texture is best after it's had a few minutes on the counter.) Rewarm the remaining chocolate topping, and pour it over the individual servings of ice cream. It will immediately harden into a chocolate shell.

Tips:

  • Use fresh raspberries. Fresh raspberries have the best flavor and will yield the most vibrant color in your ice cream. If you can't find fresh raspberries, you can use frozen raspberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the raspberries. When you cook the raspberries, you want to soften them slightly so that they release their juices. However, you don't want to overcook them, or they will become mushy.
  • Chill the ice cream base before churning. This will help the ice cream to churn more quickly and smoothly.
  • Churn the ice cream according to your ice cream maker's instructions. Most ice cream makers will take about 20-30 minutes to churn the ice cream.
  • Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container and freeze for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the ice cream to firm up and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Raspberry ricotta ice cream is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your ice cream tart or sweet, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give raspberry ricotta ice cream a try!
