Pumpkin Ricotta Ice Cream

Author Notes: I love homemade ice cream and enjoy playing around with somewhat untraditional ice cream ingredients. Some work and some don't- pumpkin and ricotta definitely do. This is very simple to make- blend the ingredients up, pour into your ice cream maker and 30 minutes later, you've got a delicious ice cream perfect for the fall. I'm betting it'll make a great whipped cream alternative for pumpkin pie and I'm planning to make it as one of my Thanksgiving desserts... - WinnieAb
Serves 2 quarts
- 3 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar in the raw (or Turbinado sugar or regular sugar)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- In a high speed blender or large capacity food processor, process all the ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust spices, if necessary.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours, if possible, and them pour into your ice cream maker. Freeze according to your manufacturer’s instructions.
- The ice cream will be finished, though on the soft side, after 30-40 minutes; you can enjoy it like this, or for a firmer consistency, transfer to a container and store overnight in the freezer before serving.

I made a lasagna the other day with a mix of pumpkin and ricotta and it was fabulous! The next time I make it, I should make this delicious looking treat for dessert. - S

I love this, and wonder about using mascarpone for the cream cheese--thanks, can't wait to try this.

Oooh...that sounds really good. Creme fraiche would be good, too, I think :)

Great recipe! I did not have cream cheese so I used just a mixture of ricotta, heavy cream, and half and half. I also used a combination of brown sugar and demerara sugar. It was delicious!
