Strawberry red pepper ice cream
  • Serves 4
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

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked and sugared strawberries, chilled
  • 1 cup fire roasted mild red pepper
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3/4 cup 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
Directions
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Garnish with a daring sprinkle of Hungarian hot paprika or Aleppo chili pepper flakes.

Thanks, BKR. This ice cream has an interesting texture with the ricotta, peppers and strawberries, and great pink color.

You won't regret it! Thanks to ChezSuzanne and drbabs among others with all their inspiration, I did last summer. This was my first recipe with it, too!

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?

Yes, completely! I did that over a bag inside, but my photo just shows my roasting process outside.
