NO-CHURN RICOTTA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Place the cream in the bowl of your electric mixture and beat just until stiff peaks form. Transfer the cream to a bowl and set it aside (you don't need to wash the mixing bowl). Add the ricotta, condensed milk, vanilla extract and salt to the mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth and combined. Turn off the mixer and fold the heavy cream into the ricotta mixture.
• Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours.
• After 4 to 6 hours, scoop out the ice cream and top it with honey and your favorite kind of nuts. I find that with no-churn ice cream, it can be really hard to scoop if it's frozen longer than 6 hours, so just let it sit at room temperature for a while before scooping!

RICOTTA ICE CREAM WITH CANDIED FRUIT AND PISTACHIOS

Steps:

• Warm the half-and-half or cream with the sugar and salt in a small saucepan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
• Make an ice bath by nesting a metal or glass bowl in a larger bowl that's partially filled with ice and some water. Set a mesh strainer over the top.
• When the half-and-half mixture is very warm, gradually add it to the yolks, stirring constantly with a whisk as you pour (to avoid scrambling the eggs). Scrape the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, just until the custard thickens and coats the spatula. (Do not boil.)
• Immediately strain the custard into the bowl in the ice bath and stir until cool.
• Pour the custard into a blender and add the honey, ricotta, and grappa or kirsch (if using). Puree in the blender until the mixture is very smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour the mixture into a container, cover, and chill thoroughly.
• Add the lemon juice, then churn the ice cream in your ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. When done, stir in the candied citrus and nuts, and transfer to a container. Cover, and store in the freezer until ready to serve.

RICOTTA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Add the heavy whipping cream to the bowl of a food processor. Process until stiff peaks form, for about a minute and a half, making sure to not overwhip, as it will be harder to mix later. Transfer the whipped cream to a bowl.
• Return the food processor bowl to the base (no need to clean). Add the ricotta, sweetened condensed milk, orange zest, vanilla caviar and salt, if using. Process until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• 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.
• Serve topped with a few raspberries and the chopped pistachios.
