Instructions
 

Preparing the ice cream mixture

  • If the ricotta has separated any liquid, drain it in a sieve for approx. 30 minutes.
  • Weigh out the listed dry ingredients and mix well. If any of the ingredients are lumpy, pass them through a sieve. Weigh out small quantities with a fine scale.
    62 g dextrose, 64 g cane sugar, 42 g dry glucose, 31 g skimmed milk powder, 8 g inulin, 1 g guar gum, 1 g locust bean gum
  • Squeeze the oranges or measure out the freshly squeezed juice.
  • Place the cream, milk and scraped vanilla seeds in a pan.

  • Heat slowly while stirring until the mixture is just before boiling. Then continue stirring for a few minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Then stir in the dry ingredients with a whisk until everything is dissolved. If necessary, add a little orange juice if the liquid is not enough to dissolve.
  • Leave to cool and when the ice cream mixture is about lukewarm, add the (remaining) orange juice.
    425 g orange juice
  • Stir in the ricotta.
    170 g ricotta
  • Leave the ice cream mixture to infuse in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Before or during the freezing process

  • Switch on the ice cream maker and leave it to cool for a few minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice and beat the ice cream mixture well again. Then start the freezing process.
    5 g lemon juice
  • Optional: Add glycerine or Cointreau shortly before the end of the freezing process to maintain the creaminess of the ice cream in the freezer compartment.
    20 g glycerine, 1 shot of Cointreau

Notes

Alternatively, you can also make the ice cream without ice cream maker in the freezer perform (total time about 4 hours).
Due to the higher fat content of ricotta, the ice cream can become harder in the freezer. With Glycerin or a dash of alcohol can counteract this. Otherwise, leave to thaw in the fridge for approx. 20 minutes before eating.
