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

Pinch kosher salt, optional
1 cup raspberries
1/2 cup chopped pistachios

  • 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.
