No-Churn Chocolate Chip Ricotta Ice Cream
Description
The recipe for No-Churn Chocolate Chip Ricotta Ice Cream relies on folding stiffly whipped heavy cream into a mixture of ricotta cheese and sweetened condensed milk, creating a thick and creamy base. Chocolate chips are folded in to provide texture and sweetness, with some scattered on top before freezing to add a decorative touch. Freezing for several hours sets the ice cream without the churning process typically required. The flavor blends the dairy richness of ricotta with the sweetness and slight chew of chocolate chips, giving it an interesting dairy texture and chocolate contrast.
The ice cream can be allowed to soften slightly at room temperature before serving to improve scoopability. The use of ricotta provides a creamy, slightly tangy character compared to traditional ice creams, and the no-churn technique makes this recipe accessible for home cooks without specialized equipment.

- 1 cup ricotta cheese 250 grams, made from cow's milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 300 grams, whole, cold from the fridge, aka whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk 250 grams, 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips 88 grams, divided

- Fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until completely combined. Fold in about 3/4 of the chocolate chips. Pour into a freezer safe loaf pan, sprinkle the remaining chips on top. Freeze for about 4-5 hours or until firm. Let sit a bit a room temperature until easier to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- A mixture of milk and dark chocolate chips can add complexity to the flavor.
