Fresh and creamy all at once, this clever combination of rich ricotta ice cream and icy-cold watermelon chunks is a twist on the classic Creamsicle. Shaved bittersweet chocolate complements both flavors beautifully. Ingredients:
1 (15-oz) cold container whole-milk ricotta (1 2/3 cups) or 1 2/3 cups fresh ricotta |
3 oz cream cheese, softened |
1 cup cold whole milk |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons dark rum |
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup cold heavy cream |
1 (4 1/2- to 5-lb) wedge of watermelon, cut into 1-inch-thick slices and chilled |
1 oz fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (from a 3-oz bar), shaved (1/4 cup) |
Directions:
1. Blend cheeses, milk, sugar, rum, zest, vanilla, and salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream and blend until just combined, about 5 seconds.
2. Freeze mixture in ice cream maker, then transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden, at least 3 hours.
3. Put scoops of ice cream on watermelon slices and top with chocolate shavings.
