Read instructions and get ready to cook
Blend ricotta and sugar
In a blender, combine 2 cups of whole milk ricotta with 3/4 cup sugar. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.
Zest the lemon
Wash the lemon thoroughly. Using a zester, zest the skin of the lemon directly into the blender containing the ricotta mixture.
Add vanilla and salt
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the blender.
Blend until smooth
Blend all the ingredients for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is well combined.
Chill the mixture
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.
Process in ice cream maker
Following your ice cream maker's instructions, process the chilled ricotta mixture until it reaches a soft-serve consistency.
Freeze to firm
Transfer the gelato to a freezer-safe container and freeze until firm, usually about 2 hours, before serving.
