Ricotta ice cream is a creamy dessert made with ricotta cheese, sugar, cream, and flavorings such as vanilla, citrus zest, or honey. A staple in Italian cuisine, this ice cream celebrates the rich, velvety texture of ricotta, which is known for its mildly sweet and slightly tangy profile. Ricotta provides a source of protein and calcium, making it a more nutrient-dense option compared to traditional ice creams made solely from cream. However, like most desserts, ricotta ice cream also contains added sugars and fats, which should be consumed in moderation. Its airy consistency and authentic flavor make it a delightful choice for those seeking a refined treat influenced by Mediterranean traditions. Pair it with fresh fruit or a drizzle of balsamic reduction for a sophisticated yet comforting indulgence.
