Simple ricotta cheese frozen dessert
This is one of the easiest desserts and you can make it in advance.
Servings: 6 servings
Equipment
- hand mixer
- Pound cake form or log cake form
Ingredients
- 250 - 300 gram Ricotta Cheese (I use Galbani ricotta, as this has smooth texture)
- 100 - 130 gram Sugar
- 200 - 250 ml Fresh cream
- 1/2 Lemon. (grate the zest and squeese the juice)
- 100 gram Candied cherries
Instructions
- To make whipped cream : pour the fresh cream and sugar (about 30g) in a bowl and beat the mixture with hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Put the ricotta cheese and the rest of the sugar (about 100g) in and mix well with a whisk. Add lemon zest and juice to the ricotta cheese mixture and mix well.
- Add chopped candied cherries to ricotta cheese mixture and mix.
- Add half of whipped cream to the ricotta cheese mixture and mix with a whisk, then add the rest of whipped cream and fold gently until incorporated.
- Line the form with cling film and pour the mixture into the form and smooth the surface. Cover the surface with another cling film and place it in the freezer overnight.
- To serve, remove the ricotta dessert from the freezer 15 minutes before serving to soften, otherwise it is hard to take it out from the mold. Remove the cling film on the surface and invert onto plate. Peel off the cling film. Slice with a hot knife and serve.
Notes
It will be no problem even if the amount of ingredients changes slightly. That’s why the amount of the ingredients are given some range, such as 250 – 300g.
