Ingredients

  • 500g Giorgio's Ricotta
  • 400ml thickened cream, cold
  • 200g sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ricotta Gelato with Fig & Classic Balsamic Glaze

    Instructions

    Step 1

    Prepare the ricotta: Place the ricotta in a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth and creamy.

    Step 2

    Add the flavourings: Add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, lemon zest and salt to the ricotta. Blend until well combined and silky smooth.

    Step 3

    In a separate bowl, whip the cold thickened cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

    Step 4

    Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the ricotta mixture into the whipped cream in two or three additions, taking care not to deflate the cream. Continue folding until smooth and evenly combined.

    Step 5

    Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container or loaf tin. Smooth the surface, cover tightly and freeze for at least 6–8 hours, or overnight, until firm.

    Step 6

    Remove the gelato from the freezer and allow it to soften at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping. Serve immediately with fresh fig & a drizzle of Classic Balsamic Glaze
