Yield Makes about 1 quart

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups fresh ricotta cheese
2 cups whole milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
5 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place ricotta in a cheesecloth-lined sieve set over a bowl. Place in refrigerator, and drain overnight.
  • Combine milk and nutmeg in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer.
  • Combine egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream at medium-high speed until very thick and pale yellow, 3 to 5 minutes. Return the milk to a simmer.
  • Add half of the warm milk to egg-yolk mixture; whisk until blended. Return new mixture to saucepan with remaining milk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Have ready an ice-water bath. Remove saucepan from heat, and immediately stir in cream. Pass mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Place bowl in ice-water bath, and chill. Whisk in drained ricotta until thoroughly blended.
  • Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Store in an airtight container.

The gelato was a bit icy. I think I might have churned it for too long.

This gelato is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.
