ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS:
RICOTTA CHEESE:
- We have to use the full cream milk ricotta cheese to provide the creamy texture and more protein content in the dish. It blends easily in a smooth way and provides the indulgent and rich foundation. Don’t use the low-fat ricotta cheese as they get icy in the freezer.
FROZEN MIXED BERRIES:
- You can add the choice of mixed berries as you like. In this ice cream we use the mix of strawberries, blueberries, & raspberries. They add the combination of natural sweet and tangy flavor. Use them in the frozen form directly to provide the thick texture.
MAPLE SYRUP:
- Pure maple syrup will provide the natural sweet taste and also enriches the flavor. Add the quantity of the maple syrup base on the preferred sweet taste.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Add the frozen berries, ricotta, & maple syrup and blend for thirty seconds until smooth.
- Spoon the mixture into a loaf pan & even it out.
- Put plastic wrap over it and press it straight onto the surface and freeze for 4 hours, or till it get solid.
- Serve the ice cream.
