I wanted to make a ricotta ice cream and it was a success! I love nutella and just added that in at the last minute. This ice cream is to die for - the ricotta is rich and creamy. The nutella adds that hint of chocolate and hazelnut flavor. I am really enjoying experimenting with ice cream recipes. I still haven't tried any custard based ice cream recipes with eggs but I might do that sometime soon. Seriously, homemade ice cream tastes far better than anything you buy in a carton at the grocery store. My next ice cream flavor I want to make is earl grey because I had an earl grey gelato recently and it was amazing and is my new favorite flavor. Enjoy!
