Method

  1. 1

    Chill. In a blender mix ricotta, milk, corn syrup, and sugar. Blend till very well mixed, around 30 seconds. Add salt till it tastes right, 1/4 teaspoon after another. Do so now if adding citrus zest. If adding larger mix-ins wait till ice cream has almost finished churning. Churn right away if ice cream base is sufficiently cold (below 5°C or 4°C). Chill blender carafe in fridge till base cools if not. Churn base in ice cream maker according in order to manufacturer's instructions. Do so in the last minute of churning if adding chunky mix-ins. Move ice cream to airtight container plus put in the fridge in freezer for no less than 4 to 5 hours before serving.
