Tip

It's often known as "scicilian icecream" and it's a good quick icecream without using eggs.

Freezing in a thin layer makes it easier to break the block up into correct size pieces for grinding in the TM bowl. A lamington tin or oven tray may be used if freezer space permits.

Keep ice cream in freezer in small tubs and cover with plastic wrap to store airtight.

If consuming after stored in freezer, place containers in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes to soften texture.

    Hi Sharon!

    I had tagged this recipe to try ages ago to and finally did! I was very happy with the result!

    I had firm ricotta left over from making Walnut Patties - Yum!  (Thermomix vegetarian cook cook).

    Using a big ziplock bag worked very well. I really loved the simple and uncomplicated ricotta flavour of the "soft serve" style icecream. I'm sure as a variation, some vanilla flavouring would work a treat! My wife swirled some tmx chocolate sauce onto hers and was delighted with the result. We used the remainder to create chocolate swirl individual ice creams in silicone mini muffin cases (took some time out of the freezer to soften). These were very nice, but personally I am sold on the "soft serve" result. A very quick recipe to make and have on hand for a summertime soft serve treat with friends!

    Thanks for sharing, John.

  • I love the idea of freezing

    I love the idea of freezing it in a ziplock bag. I try to keep frozen coconut cream in the freezer for future icecream mixes. I use ice cube trays but then it is messy to move to a storage container. I think just pour the can into the bag and lay on a shelf. Ready to use whem I need it.  Thanks for the idea.
