    I did not care for the texture of this ice cream. I won't make it again. I have had good luck with her biscotti recipe though.

    I make this ice cream all the time. It's so incredibly easy and fast, and the end result is a smooth, creamy concoction that you can't stop eating. Other than cutting the amount of chocolate chips down to 1/2 a cup, I don't make any other changes. Occasionally, I make it without the chocolate chips and then top it with a fruit syrup. Make sure you use a quality whole milk ricotta, like Calabro. You don't want a ricotta with a grainy texture.

    This ice cream tastes great. It is much lighter than normal ice cream as well. Everyone commented how light and wonderful this ice cream was.

    I am crazy about this ice cream. It has everything yummy -- ricotta cheese and chocolate chips and nutella...does anyone know how many calories this has? I would really like to know. I don't think it can have a whole bunch b/c ricotta cheese is low carb/fairly low cal. I think 1/2 cup of this without the cone would still be ok if you are watching what you eat! Let's hope so anyway!

    ...from the Kraft.com site, so I might try this one to do a comparison. The other site mentioned in place of mini choc. chips you could instead add slivered almonds if preferred.Instead of a simple syrup, it used a can of fat-free sweetened consdensed milk--other ingredients used milk, heavy cream, and a touch of cinnamon. The instructions said to use a food processor or blender to make the ricotta smooth--hence, no grittiness as some have complained of here. I also had a brainstorm of my own. I bought the cannoli shells from an Italian specialty store nearby, and after processing the mixture in the ice cream machine, I scooped the semi-solid ice cream into a pastry bag and piped the ice cream, chips and all, into the cannoli shells. Then I froze them quickly. They are a quick, grab-and-go treat, no spoon or bowl required! And they look exactly like a pastry from the bakery. Hope this helps!

    This is delicious, and so much easier than making a custard and all that jazz. Fast and fantastic! Thanks Giada!

    I used large waffle cones (so it was big enough for 2 scoops and mini chocolate chips, I might cut the sugar syrup a bit next time, very sweet. I used fresh vanilla bean since I had some. It was like a frozen canolli!
