Cannoli’s have to be one of my favourite desserts ever.. so this ice cream is definitely one I would love to make. Looks delicious!
Thanks Thalia! Definitely a favorite ice cream of mine, I love the taste of ricotta in dessert!
What is inverted sugar?
It’s a syrup. You can make it by heating 2:1 sugar to water and adding a little citrus such as lemon juice.
