Author Notes: This is an ice cream which combines strawberries and roasted red peppers with a little bit of heat from paprika or Aleppo. - Sagegreen
Serves 4
- 1 cup cooked and sugared strawberries, chilled
- 1 cup fire roasted mild red pepper
- 1/2 cup ricotta
- 3/4 cups whole milk
- 3/4 cups heavy cream (it happened to be whipped already)
- 1/3 cup acacia honey
- 1/3 cup organic cane sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon hot paprika (for more heat) or Aleppo pepper flakes (for milder)
- 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed, milled or ground
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- sprinkle of hot paprika or Aleppo chili pepper flakes for garnish
- Assemble the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree. Then chill the mix thoroughly. If you do not want heat you could use a sweet paprika instead.
- Pour into an ice cream maker and process according to the maker's directions. Serve right away (or store in the freezer and then let soften for serving).
- Garnish with a daring sprinkle of Hungarian hot paprika or Aleppo chili pepper flakes.

It's funny; I was thinking of an ice cream with chili peppers, too! I didn't remember this from last summer.

I have the same ice cream maker attachment, and I find it tricky to pour into. Your use of of ricotta cheese in the ice cream is quite original, and so appealing. I'm with Lizthechef as a fan of your culinary creativity.

Thank you. I just happen to have ricotta and thought it would pair well with the roasted peppers. It was really good right when I made it. Tonight I needed to let it sit for a good 5 minutes for everything to soften again. I really do like the hot paprika as a controlled garnish!

Did you remove the skins of the peppers after roasting?
over 2 years ago Sagegreen
Yes, completely! I did that over a bag inside, but my photo just shows my roasting process outside.
