Ratafia & Ricotta Ice-Cream
There's nothing in the world like sweet juicy cherries & their loud welcome to the start of the summer - but cherry ice-cream is the best way to ratafy summer!
Ingredients
- 300 gm Ricotta
- 340 gm Sweet Cherries pitted
- 1/4 Zest from 1/4 Unwaxed Organic Lemon
- 2 tbsp Cherry Ratafia (alternatively another cherry liqueur that you prefer)
- 2 tbsp Acacia Honey or alternatively a light high quality honey (you don’t want to drown the taste of the cherries)
Instructions
- Add the ricotta into your food blender and whizz till it’s broken down into a thick paste.
- .To the ricotta add lemon zest and blend in the cherries slowly, don’t add too many at a time otherwise the skins won’t break down.
- Add honey and the Ratafia give a final whizz together then pour into a plastic container, cover with a lid and put into the freezer.
- Once every hour break up the ice-cream crystals return into the freezer repeating 4 times. (Obviously if you have an ice-cream maker you can leave churn & do it all for you ...).
- Serve with a sprinkle of toasted crushed almonds and a glass of Ratafia.
