Canoli-Ice-Cream-(Ricotta-Cheese)

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to make ice cream!  It is my absolute favorite thing to do and this homemade cannoli ice cream recipe made with fresh ricotta cheese is one of my top “go-to” flavors.

I make this ice cream with cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg to directly mimic the flavor of the cannoli dessert.  If you can get your hands on some cannoli shells I would recommend putting a bowl of this ice cream in the center of a large plate surrounded by shell pieces to make a crazy dessert dip!

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.
