1

In a blender, combine 2 cups of whole milk ricotta with 3/4 cup sugar. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

4
Blend until smooth

Blend all the ingredients for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is well combined.

Transfer the gelato mixture into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Following your ice cream maker's instructions, process the chilled ricotta mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.

7
